Darkness by Richard D. Asplund Jr.

The night my home and my only friend
Gave unto me a power without end
Born into a world of laughter and light
Crawling into darkness a world of soothing night
Unto the end of time I am given a task
Forever I perform my duty from behind a mask
In worlds of light I travel to help
Those that are abused and looked down on as whelp
I am of the darkness for duty for honor
I shun the light in duty and in honor
I ask for no reward for my times
I ask no pardon for my crimes
I am a warrior born and bred
And that is the way in which my life is led
I am a weaver of storms
I am a changer of forms
A lowly shade of night
Who will forever and a day fight
For duty for honor
