dark and light

we've all seen the dark 
and on occasion 
been swallowed whole by it
our eyes
leaking continuous streams 
and our feet
failing to hold us up 
until
we cant cry anymore
and now
we cant even crawl
we've all seen the dark 
have all been tormented
by the visions in our heads
and seen the things that scare us most 
on repeat 
every time we close our eyes
it's true we've all seen the dark
but 
we've also 
seen the light
and we know
you can either give in 
to the dark 
or 
you can step into the light.
