A Fear

I don't want to walk in the dark
I don't like such journeys at all
Scared by my shadow before me
The noises I hear not my own

All that I have is to walk
On a path that I cannot predict
To a place I'm not sure I remember
In this darkness, so incomplete

I hold my fists and my tears
And keep walking, step after step
I don't want to walk late at night
Away from it all and the light

If only we'd walked in the light
That I would not be fearing so now
