We come and go as we please.
We are the darkness-
The source of your unease.
We envelop even the bold
We are in every story untold.
We come with the night
And dissapear with the dawn.
Gone with the night-
Unless you still hold on.

A Dark Riddle

We are the shadows-
We come and go as we please.
We are the darkness-
The source of your unease.
We envelop even the bold
We are in every story untold.
We come with the night
And dissapear with the dawn.
Gone with the night-
Unless you still hold on.
What are we?

Hmmmm... Very good one.. Had me thinking the same.. A Bat. Then I though.. Could it be "Dreams".. IF you think about it, they are gone when the morning comes, and most of us try to remember them, but they are hard to hold on to... But that is just my guess... Very good writting...

Hmm...My first inclination was 'nightmares.' But, further scrutinization led me to another answer: 'emotional memories.' Perhaps i'm wrong on both counts? At any rate, this was fantastic work all the same. But then, what else would I expect from the great Eve?

Keep writing, or be forced into the daylight,

Majestic and VS were on it; the answer was mainly nightmares. But a lot of people have thought it was bats, and it very well could be many other things. I know I wasn't just thinking of nightmares when I wrote it.
Thanks for all of your answers.
