The other day in therapy we talked about my fears. She asked me why I was afraid of the dark. At the time I didn't know, I've always been , *I guess I've never been scared of the dark I guess I've always loved it* But I've given it some thought and I've noticed The dark holds untold secrets It is something you cannot run from You can't say I'm ugly, you can't say I'm tall When it comes, it is usually unexpected And it envelopes you You'll be forced to listen to my personality and my call Until you become enclosed in everything else you're afraid of The dark holds your freedom *Because you can hear my voice and hear my movement You can't hear my smile and you can't hear my touch* And refuses to return it to you *I'll always be more than enough... *In the dark At night dark becomes powerful Because there is no escape *Everyone's equal, you don't have to be shy. It's so much easier to cry without light* No amount of light is bright enough to ***** out the dark. You and I have the same amount of pride. The dark holds you In an intricate web of danger and exposure to things unseen Worst of all, The dark holds me And I, do not enjoy being held by things. *Why is everyone looking for the light? When it's so much easier living at night.* In the dark
