Afraid of the Dark

Scared to go to sleep,
scared of the secrets I keep.
Time to go to bed,
and visit the monsters in my head.
They day I’ve gone insane,
but no one sees my pain.
I want to shout,
when the lights go out.
These demons come out to play,
when the lights fade away.
Under my bed and in my closet,
maybe I really have lost it.
Praying for a light or spark,
because I’m afraid of the dark.
