she fears
the dark
as it
consumes her
slowly
and then
all at once
trapping her
in its
never ending quest
to seize her mind
and bury her soul.
she’s trapped
inside
just a girl
lost in a
mood maelstrom
waiting
to capture back
her soul.
she knows
she understands
that the darkness
will only
depart
on its terms
not hers.
she clings
to normalcy
as she waits
and prays
that her mask
will soon come
unseated
releasing her
from this
darkness
called mood.
