Darkness Don`t

Darkness don`t enshroud me
his whisper is here


if you surround me
his whisper becomes a witch haired banshee`s scream
that only vanishes in daylight

Why must you be stronger than light
I`m afraid of what else you may bring with you
Will it be him?

Please give me the strength to stand up
and fight back with fangs bared and sharpened claws
For darkness will not protect me

I want no one to fight my battles but me
But maybe some emotional armor if it can be spared

Darkness don`t leave me
Your arms are insured safety

I`m sorry to contradict you but
you`re like a two faced friend
or double edged sword
You conceal the weak
And you exploit their weaknesses

I`d rather you conceal me
when I fear that the pain inflicting man is near

About this poem:
Was biking home from Wal-Mart and there is this road that is enshrouded in darkness, and the only light I see is up ahead but seems to never come. I still fear my rapist, but I somehow accept that fear in the daylight. The darkness however, I`m always thinking he`s there even though he`s nowhere near this town. So I wrote this poem on my way home, in my head.

A very difficult subject to write about, some say that you should always write about what you know, Very sadly this seems to be the case in this instance, it is a subject that needs to be discussed in the open, but for the bravery of people like you, it wouldn't be......That aside it is also a well written piece, thankyou.....Andrew...xxx

That`s a great idea about sharing it with others who have gone through the same traumas:) Thank you
