The harsh light

The light from my window wakes me. Sunlight. I never want the sun to come up, but... If it doesn't I'll be afraid. I don't want the sun... But I am afraid of not having it. It shines on me, burning almost... but at night, I fear for my life. I close out the sun with heavy curtains, but knowing that I can open them again and it's still there... comforts me. At night, I still sleep with lights. I'm afraid of opening my eyes and seeing nothing... Nothing but the cold, emotionless darkness Surrounding me, choking me it seems, even though I know I can breathe... Even though, I prefer the darkness... I always want the light to be there... In case it gets too dark... And I get scared again...
