dark

A Poem by Merkle

Why do we fear the dark? The dark itself can not hurt you, so than why? Why is it that when the lights go out and when robbed of sight that we begin to freak? Or is it something more? Could it be, because when we see the dark we see our fears? The creepy crawlies, the monsters, the ghosts, the demons, and any other horror that we can think of. Is that why we fear the dark? Or is it something even more than that? Could it be that in the in the subconscious of our mind we know to fear the dark for in the dark we know we are weak? In reality it is not the dark you need to fear, for if you are already scared of the dark, what will you do when the things in the dark comes for you?
