Sometimes,I am afraid of the dark.
Mostly because dark means night and night means nightmares and I cannot wake from you.
Your violent stares ripping through my body, you have tunnel vision, visualising all the ways in which you wish to ruin me, but I am the one doing all the ruining,
See sometimes I am afraid of the light.
Mostly because light means day and day means longer hours that are dragged out of me because there is so much of you in me.
I cannot escape from the cage you have locked me in, mostly because cage means world and world means big and big has never been anything I was apart of.
So I learn magic tricks that the moon thought me in the day or is it at night, I don't know, mostly because I have been awake too long, and not alive long enough.
I do not know how to live, when all I am is a body and body means jungle gym and that means that I am constantly being used as a gateway for someone else's fun.
It is dark now. You know what that means?
It means that another day has passed that I have spent, yet again, not living.
