Dark Room

I was alone, resting in my dark room

The darkness engulfed me

I was scared, scared of the unknown

The unknown which I couldn't see



The door was locked, locked from the outside

How could I escape?

My past haunted me, hurt my inside

At the hazy future, I gape



The room had terrible creatures, dark & hideous

Lust, Anger, Guilt & Pride

The warmth of innocence was fading

I wanted to run, I wanted to hide



Ah! Finally the door is open

But why isn't there any light?

Has the world changed so much

Or is this a temporary phase of night?
