It's time to cease chasing after ghosts... because there are no such thing. It's time to stop peeking under the bed at night... Because monsters don't exist. It's time to shut out the lights without running through the darkness...  Because there is nothing in the dark that isn't there in the light. It's time to quit pulling the covers over my head... Because nothing is there to get me. It's time to grow up... Because I've been acting like a child for far too long. It's time for me to end this sleepover... Because when you're here, I'm miles away. It's time to wake up... Because the dream is over. I'm now aware that I've spent most of this life asleep... My eyes are open.

Grow up.

This is just one of those things I can relate to(obviously)
