This is just about night. It's not very good, but i figured i'd post it and see what response i got.

The night

Sky as dark as pitch

It swallows me

Fighting the urge to scream with fright

It swallows me

Running in circles, searching for light

It swallows me

Hearing noises so close by

It swallows me

I am scared out of my mind

It swallows me

But when day breaks though, I should be relieved

I soak up all the sun

For sun is light, and happiness

In a world where there is none

As the day grows old

And dusk arrives

I think of all the lives

That ended today

And will end tonight

Because the sun did not stay

Again I stand here in the night

With sky, dark as pitch

It swallows me again, as it did, not so long before

I no longer feel the urge to scream

I stay in one place

It continues to swallow me

I still hear noises, but I don’t mind

I am no longer frightened

For night is day without the light

Without the sky so brightened

Who says it's not good. I loved the "It swallows me" scheme. Very clever!

Rocking stuff!

it's not bad, especially the "it swallows me it swallows me it swallows me" made me read it more than twice.
