Dark and Light
October 2010 (9th grade)

The Darkness is foreboding.
It's dreary,
and controlling.
It lours you into temptation.
A dark mystery
sensation.
The Shadow is swallowing you whole.
You're trapped.
It's gnawing at your soul.
Ha!
It's got you now.
You're falling for forever and a day.
Along with all the others that
slowly faded away.

A light in the distance
is approaching.
You're still falling with no resistance.
Don't fight 
the glimmer
of your saving light.
Go to it.
Go!
For you will hit
a nerve in your soul.
It will save your life,
that shining light.
Dark and Light,
an endless fight.
Whether it
takes away
or saves,
it gives us Night and Day.
