The dark should be feared
It has no superior
It can absorb you
And hide you from sight
Be careful
Beware the dark
For you never know
What lurks in the shadows
Monsters with strength
Bears with teeth
Tigers with claws
Who knows what else
Tingles run down your spine
Shivering, you ask:
Am I safe?
You turn in circles
Trying to secure the perimeter
But you forget to look up
By then it is too late
The dark already has you
I like how you used personification to depict the fear of dark.
