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
