I wrote this one for a assignment my english teacher gave in whi we had to write 4 poems

When darkness blooms deep in the night

I see nothing but darkness in all my sight

Despite the world always so forever cold

I cannot help but feel ere something bold

When I awake deep in the ere dark night 

Nothing brings joy except thought of light

Then when i'm finally drifting off to sleep

The shadow wakes me so I start to weep

When dreary and cold I am so very tired

I feel like a robot who was recently wired

Do you feel as tired as I when you leave?

Well I have not slept for a year I believe.

Every day when I try to sleep it is there

And each day I try my best to prepare

When I'm alone I can feel it all around

Yet I can’t run like my legs are bound

Gray and black are the colors I can see

All the colors of the dark that follows me

What joy have I known over the years?

Not enough to stop the endless tears.
