I'm afraid of the dark
the unknown depths and lengths
the monsters that lurk
you can't see anything
it's so foreboding
as I think some more
the daytime isn't so different
nothing is as it seems
foreboding and unknown
depths and monsters
lengths and fear
while sitting here
in the dark
with my pen, book, and dog,
I know I'm not afraid of the dark
but the monsters in it
who share my name and face
these monsters who lurk
are the unknown, the fear
the foreboding darkness
But the daytime isn't so different,
is it?
