People are scared of things

One is the
d
a
r
k

I used to be afraid of the dark- so I got a nightlight
And yet that didn't help
I started sleeping with the blinds open AND the nightlight
Still- I was afraid
So I started sleeping with all the lights on
And I wasn't sleeping

I'm not afraid of the dark surrounding me
Enveloping me
That darkness- its a hug

This darkness- its the darkness inside of me
I'm scared of the darkness inside of me...
