I used to be afraid of the dark.
I felt like it would surround me
Choke me
Trap me
I could always see long fingered monsters
in the shadows about
to ****** me away.
But it's different now,
I long for it to surround me
Embrace me
Hide me
It blocks out everything
and softens it
Like a think blanket or
an old book
I've made peace with its silence
and I've come to realize
that the world scares me more than any monster.
