It's dark out
it looks like you’re alone
but you still feel that twinge
that feeling

Is there someone behind you
should you run
is that really breath you feel
on the back of your neck

Should you keep walking
and hope for the best
or turn around
and be sure about what's behind you

You start to walk faster
the feeling never going away
you start to run
the fear gripping your heart

Finally you stop and turn
terrified of what you might find
praising yourself
for being brave enough to do it

A face flashed in your mind
maybe a memory
or a picture you've seen
no way to know

What you do know is it was fake
just a flash of fear
only darkness in front of you
the growling still ringing in your ears

....what growling?
you didn't imagine a growl before
so why is it ringing in your ears
and then you turn again

It wasn't a flash
the dark face of a dark creature
not even a foot from your face
only its glowing eyes and teeth visible

What now
run
scream
....pray?

Running
would only provoke the beast
filling its need to hunt
and then its stomach

Screaming
would only strain your voice
bringing you no closer to your solution
waste of energy

Praying
maybe god will finally do something for you
maybe he will come to your aid
yeah right

Fighting
fighting is your only option
but how
it's so big

Reaching into your pocket
you retrieved a flashlight
and with its strong beam of light
proved the beast to be fiction

Lowering your arms in relief
strikes fear into you heart
for the light reviles
paw prints

The light chased the beast away
chased the dark away
it saved your life
now you must save yourself

Now at home
you replay the events of the night
and realize one crucial thing
something that will change your life forever

The dark is something to fear.
