Sonnet #1
A sonnet written by Armando Banderas in Creative Writing class.
Darkness envelopes me in its cold grip
Concealing reality from my sight
Constantly taunting me with a small sip
The dark and I in never-ending fight
Anger conceals itself striking at will
Always watching my back for the red threat
With anger comes fear stalking its sole kill
The two are a formidable duet
My only savior is light’s warm embrace
At day’s end, it pushes away the dark
Feelings of belonging in my own space
Rise up bringing joy to hit the black mark
Here I sink into lyrics, beats, and fun
Music battled the enemy and won
