Entry Fourteen: Nature Walk Poem

As I walk to my car I’m surrounded by darkness
With the moon as my sole savior
Shadows move around me
Making me question whether or not I’m alone
Even the crunch of the grass sounds eerie
I get in the car and lock the doors
The sound of Taylor Swift calms my apprehension
For the time being
Driving home I notice the stars
I wonder why they weren’t there a few minutes ago
When I was walking in the dark
Then a truck comes from the opposite direction
With lights so bright, they seem to mock me
And my fear of what is happening in the dark
I pull in the parking lot
And see that dumb cat lurking on around the place
I hurry into my apartment
Locking the door
Leaving the eeriness of night behind me
