I was never afraid of the dark
At least not the way I am now
I'm afraid of the darkness surrounding me
Instead of the darkness around me
Instead of invisible monsters under my bed
I'm afraid of the raging monsters in my head
I don't fear the shadows creeping along the walls
I fear the unseen companion watching as I fall
The noises I hear aren't imaginary
They're the voices in my head
They're the voices of the world
The world is not 'cupcakes and rainbows' like they say
It's evil and dark unable to change
Really and truly that's when I knew
I'm no longer a child
I grew up, it's true
