City Nights

I’m not afraid
Of the dark
Only what’s inside
The things that hide
Laughing faces
Breathless chases
All of them happen
In the dark
Screams that sound
That no one hears
Smothered by darkness
And silent tears
Gunshots echo
Through the streets
Children cry
Being beat
Broken hearts
And broken bones
Secrets only
darkness knows
I’m not afraid
Of the dark
Just the monsters
That hide inside
