• We run from the darkness,
    desperate for the light,
    we hide from the shadows,
    scared of the night.

    Hidden and trembling,
    we huddle in fear,
    scared of the unknown,
    we shed silent tears.

    Blinded by the black,
    eyes accustomed to sight,
    always fearing an attack,
    from creatures banished by light.

    Confronted with our fears,
    we now must fight,
    we inhabit this world,
    a world of darkness and light.

    Mysteries and change,
    through both we must stand strong,
    not letting our fears overcome us,
    something we should have known all along.

    Strength comes in numbers,
    for we are never alone in our battles,
    there is always someone there beside us,
    as we walk into the shadows.
