Darkness (Poem)

Darkness needs no fancy tricks to mess up your whole day.
It simply must sit and wait for you to go astray.
There is plenty here without it's help to bring you down to size.
It laughs and watches from it's perch with amusement in it's eyes.
For rarely does it need to act in any special way
It simply whispers your own fears back, toying with it's prey.
A rude remark, a sneer or glance from someone you don't know
are just some tools it can use to keep you down and low.
So look up my friend to the sky and try never to forget
That life is short, but oh it's worth not to heed the it's threats.
For once you learn it's secret tricks you see them more quickly
Allowing you to shake it off and move on more swiftly.
