bleeding wrists,

bruised ankles,

burning eyes,

one dark room,

a chair and rope,

a single bright screen,

your voice as the tune,

a silent scream,

was a zoned out route,

fast worward button the missing key,

stuck in a loop but its ...

afraid of the dark,

what lurks in my closet?

what lives under my bed?

when the vast of night covers the horizon,

and my blanket covers my head,

i wish to be a child again,

afraid of the dark,

ive grown with skeletons as friends,

ive grown with ghosts for mistakes,

ive grown with monsters of worry,

Oh how I wish to be a child again,

simply afraid of the dark,
