Still Scared Of The Dark

One thing in life that I cannot shake,
As I hop in bed and place the covers over my head.

I'll feel better when the morning light wakes,
But moving dark shadows appear leaving me stricken with fear.

With a nervous laugh at myself this is all in my mind,
You know the deal monsters just aren't real.

Setting sun falling upon comes the night time,
When I sleep, into the room I deposit but not before I check under the bed and in the closet.

There is just something so terrifying about the dark,
I know it isn't right sleeping with a night light.

Deep down in my truest of heart,
I'll find the courage to show and out of this I will grow.
