Alone in a room
The absence of light
It seems so silly
but that is my fright
Locked down by memories
Scarred by my past
So many years later
The nightmares still last
I tell others of my terror
They stare with pure judgment
I brush it off slightly
But their looks remain pungent
No one understands
But what I do know is true
With a life like mine
You'd be afraid of the dark too

Alone in a room
The absence of light
It seems so silly
but that is my fright
Locked down by memories
Scarred by my past
So many years later
The nightmares still last
I tell others of my terror
They stare with pure judgment
I brush it off slightly
But their looks remain pungent
No one understands
But what I do know is true
With a life like mine
You'd be afraid of the dark too
