Black Rose Poem by brittney crozier

Voices of the night are getting louder
My eyes are failing me
The night is a danger zone and full of surprises
There is no way around to know what is in the shadows
Waits for the right moment to come out
Void of the night keeps growing bigger
I stumble into the darkness
My ears keep hearing voices whispering
Confusion, pain, the feeling of being lost, nowhere to turn
The night is unforgiving
Doesn’t care who I am
The only does one thing and one thing only
Night will come without warning
Doesn’t follow a pattern and can’t be followed
I am the one that ends up being followed
Barely feel anything
Consumes everything in its path
Darkness is darker than a black rose
Don’t know what to do
All I know is that I need to get back on the path
To get back to my friends and family
Back to the life I use to have
Don’t want to be alone
Don’t want to be one my own
I don’t want to be stranded
