Some like the Dark

Some like the Dark

Some people are afraid of the light
and can only hide in the dark
quietly
shallow breath
they wait timidly
overwhelmed by the possibility
of being seen
measure
weighed
found wanting.
So they strike 
like a shadow
a phantom of doom
knowing no way
out of their tomb
created by fear
of being seen
andd found wanting.
There they lurk
ghostly figures
trying to refashion ans rework
all the inadequacies
they see in their eyes.
