Afraid of the dark day #11 november PAD chapbook challenge-no one wants___

No one wants to be filled with fear
Needlessly worrying,
what happens next,
Clinging to something that has no substance
Waiting, trying to see …
Hyperventilating you can’t breathe or think
Darkness surrounds you …

  2. Mary,
    When I was a child, I had a horrible fear of the dark. I couldn't walk into a room without the lights on. My dad used to tell me not to fear the dark, but the daylight while walking amongst the people on the street. That was the thing to fear.
    You know I had no idea what he was talking about, until I grew up.
