I’m not afraid of the dark
November 29, 2021
I'm not afraid of the dark,
its what happens there that scares me.
I'm not afraid of the bogeyman,
but any man can scare me.
I'm not afraid of goblins or ghouls,
Because I'm no fool.
I've seen the darkness of man's heart,
seen death and rage tear families apart.
I've seen more than dumb child hood fears,
what I've seen can bring grown men to tears.
So no, I'm not afraid of the dark,
It's what happens there that scares me.

Favorite Quote:
Her heart was an open book with beautiful pages and detailed lettering. She wanted people to read her story in hopes that it would make them write their own. Instead, every person who came across the pages of her heart ripped out their favorite story and took it with them. They folded back pages and bent up corners. They signed their name with sloppy writing and with a simple 'goodbye'. This book is now tucked away in the darkest parts of her, because no one wants to read a tragic story with a bad ending.
