The photo prompt below inspired me to write the poem below. Poetry is not my strongest skill, so bear with me!
Why not try it for yourself?
Trepidation
Darkness behind me
Fingers of black
Creeping along the cracks
Afraid to move
Knowing I must enter
Fear gripping my center
Where is the light?
To guide my way
From night to day
One step echoes
To me shadows cling
Covering fear I sing
Enveloped in black
Hands outstretched
Slime touched, I retched
Running to the light again
Come another day
Into this archway
When my heart is brave
