DarknessA Poem by Aislinn Gryffin ((Ashes))
Darkness Slipping... Sliding... Slinking... Coming... Conquering... Covering... Daylight Burning... Blinding... Blazing... Dimming... Dying... Disappearing... Darkness replacing day Day is dying Bleeding orange and pink and purple Into the horizon *Click* Mental picture of the vibrant hues Then wait wait... wait... NOW!!! It's gone The too-bright blinding luminescence Of daylight Been replaced conquered By the pale light of midnight Silence surrounds like a blanket Warming like a friend's embrace Pale light of midnight kisses my cheeks and my face And i am among friends I am free Chill wind keeps all others out Out of my Eden A world for just me They reject me i don't mind i have my own friends Darkness conquered the blinding brilliance Silence hushed the crashing noise Books spun silver web-paths to Imagi~nation Chill heavy night air blew and pushed everyone inside And Darkness lulled them to sleep For me i was never home in your world So i created my own The pale light of midnight shines Thin and shimmery spiderwebs Wrapping everything And changing them To what they are to me This is my world Beautiful magic dancing singing No one can stop me No depression No eyes to watch me No minds to judge me So why be afraid Why fear Why hide Why be anxious I'm not No panic-ing shaking gripping sides scared thoughts racing and on and on and on... Not here Not here Here i am safe You'll never catch me The pale light of midnight Spins a web of Invisibility And the Darkness blinds you Like Daylight blinds me And Silence chokes you Like Speech chokes me And Night~Air chills and freezes you While without it i burn into dust So here i am safe Safe from you i can be me i can be that thing you call Normal But what is Normal??? i suppose it's the opposite of me it's the one i can't be When people watch Or are even just there But i don't care ((Well, i do but you'll never know that)) And go out and hang with your Friends Another word you use Go ahead Drink up Laugh Enjoy I can do that too Even if it is alone Alone in the pale light of moonlight i do what you do with your Friends swing bottle *slosh* walk and swing and swing and walk and upend the bottle *gulp* and walking stumble dizzy fuzzy bleary spiderwebby midnight~light blurs so does the spotlight~y i see it's scanning the black road beside me The spotlight blurs But i hear a deep purr i look the spotlights dim the purring gets louder but i see that it's coming From a ways away ...ways away ...waaazuuuwaaay There's fog in my head Misty cool fog a word comes through the fog Truck TrunkTruckTruck it comes closer and i keep walking it's still far away i hear as it speeds up the road is curvy Bendy and twisting But i'm too dizzy to follow i go straight Blinding spotlight closer now stumble ~oops~ screech and black and quiet and nothing this Darkness is different There's no midnight~light No comfort I'm cold I'm freezing I'm alone and it's foggy here Though i can't see it i feel it and i feel alone and tired Night~night © 2009 Aislinn Gryffin ((Ashes))Author's Note
