Children of Night

A silent creature not knowing where to start.

Broken-hearted, falling apart.

They keep going, reaching out

However they just can't make a sound.

No one of them knows what to aim for,

Since they were never taught; all they got is destruction.

To make themselves believe that they are fine,

They run away, keep close and hide-

Yet they still know they're never okay.

They don't know if they'll be alive the next day.

They're shadowed, lost, aware-

Not letting anyone stare.

Always moving somewhere.

Trusting nobody, fearing even light-

They're creatures of the night.

A/N:
The concept behind this poem is pretty funny. I was out late at night and heard a dog barking. I was really scared and then this came to my mind.
