i never really like the dark.

it hid all the monsters that could come and snatch me away. it hid them under my bed, inside the closet and in the corners of my room.

it scared me how many monsters it could hide.

now i crave the dark, wishing for it to hide away the world that shunned me so harshly. after all, it was the only thing that stayed with me when they snuffed out my light.
