Darkness

Darkness is everywhere
Whether it's here or there,
It's killing
It's in our minds, our hearts,
And our souls.
But wherever it is
One thing is for sure
Darkness is everywhere

I was, and partly still am, very proud of this poem. The beginning came to me during lunch in 6th grade, and i tried to go with it from there. Since I had no paper or pen, I had to repeat it to myself until I could go back to class to write it down. I remember being anxious for my Language Arts teacher to read it. She must have thought I was crazy.
