This is a definition poem that I have been working on and revising for a while now, I hope people like it!
Dark ● ness ∕≈∕ n. 1. What engulfs
you the moment the light is turned off: what you see before your pupils adjust.2.
this field of black,/this monster under the bed, lying in wait for the flick of
the light switch/ this tingly fear in the back of my mind once I let my head hit
the pillow,/ this invisible force, urging my eyes to stay open,/ the quivering
of my small frame/ the rapid rise and fall of my chest, the frigid pressure
creeping down my spine. 3. When the shadow in the corner of the room twitches
ever/so/slightly./ it begins to quietly
slither closer and closer to my bed, and right when it gets close enough to
see, disappears/ I pinch my eyes closed, trembling/ In this homey prison,
waiting for morning to come.
