You Can't Escape the Night.

Shimmering water glows with the setting sun,
Warmth fades and coldness overtakes,
Light dissipates as darkness descends.
The moon is reflected in the waves.
Down by the lake thoughts are awake.
Dew on the grass creates an eerie sense.

Animals cry in the dusk light.
We cannot escape the night,
But it is where I like to be.
The night hides our flaws,
The light shows us for what we truly are.
That is why scary things only come out at night.

Fictional monsters do not exist,
Rather human beings are the monsters hidden in darkness.
Just think, what scary things do you see in the light?
We are all afraid of what we become in the night.
True form shows itself, whether hideous or gorgeous.
Humans take advantage of the blissfulness that dark creates.
