Give Me the Dark

Alone in my room
the darkness surrounding me, wrapping me in comfort.

Not seeing even a spec of light helps me sleep and enter a dreamland full of hope.

The quiet of the night keeps me calm and unafraid.

Sometimes the things that go bump in the light are better hidden in the darkness.

Things unseen are better than those the eye can see.

Imaginary monsters in the dark hold no candle to the evil of the daylight world.

The sights we see sometimes are better left unseen.

Give me the night.

Give me the dark, for it is there I am most at home.
