Poem: The Deep Dark

The Deep Dark
By: Abbey Rutter

 I'm a danger to my waking mind,
Rendered safe only in sleep
Make hazard to my own surmise,
I'm the dragon darkness keeps.

Wanderer I am, in kind
I fought the battle raging, lost
The demon of my own design,
By tragedy, the infinite cost.

I know the depth of dark,
Have seen the ages of the days
To know this fate makes hard,
When keeps my mind by stranger ways.
