Darkness
Why do we degrade the darkness?
Saying it is where the monsters haunt.
It is when in the broad daylight,
I spotted a monster roaming the streets.
Why do we degrade the darkness?
It takes us in when even the light shuns us out.
Enveloping our choking sobs in silence,
Comfort the teary eyes dazzled by light.
Why do we degrade the darkness?
When the light goes out,
Is it the moon's fault that the sun sets down?
About this poem
Sometimes when things don't go right, you hide in the dark. Shedding a tear or two, no one will know for darkness always keeps your secret
