The darkness

I wrote this on a whim

The darkness imprisons me to the point of exhaustion
The light seeps through the tiny cracks
Only to give me hope where there is none

I lye still awaiting my doom
Death surrounds me
Yet I feel no gloom

I stare into the darkness, praying to survive
There's no one to hear me
But the ghosts of those that have died

I hear footsteps, drawing ever so near
They're coming to kill me
But i feel no fear

Slowly the knob begins to turn
I will not give up without a fight
A lesson they will soon learn

I hide in the darkness, where no light hits
They walk inside
I raise my fists

I rush, flailing my arms all around
But there's nobody there
Not a soul to be found

I awake, lying in my bed
I realize I am safe
It was all a dream in my head
