Poetry By Cheyenne
There's a lot of poetry on here. Happy, sad, funny, horrible, and terrifying.
But it's all poetry, and it's all mine
And I'd love to share it with you
So give it a read!

“Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.”
― E.L. Doctorow

Darkness and Light

The road ahead is full of twists and turns,
ready to trip and take us down
if we are unprepared.
Brambles reaching out with thickly clawed fingers,
disguised as prickled thorns.
They can too easily wrap around an unprotected ankle,
and drag us away from the sunlight,
imprisoning us beneath darkened twig and branch,
subjecting us to whatever tortures lay below.

Away from the life-giving light,
creatures indescribable lurk,
ready to show us why
we should fear what we cannot see.
There's a reason why all we know of them are shadows,
and tales of strange noises in the darkest of nights.
Their cries should send shivers down our spines,
and raise our eyes toward the unknown
outside our windows.
Because the day that we let down our guard,
and no longer fear what could be waiting outside our doors,
will be the time where they brave the light,
finding us in the places we thought we'd be safe.
Then we will have nowhere else to hide,
and the creatures of darkness
will overtake the light.

    I love to write, and poetry is one of my favorite ways to figure out what my brain is doing.
