The Darkness

but little girl why do you find comfort in the darkness? doesn’t the darkness scare you you know the world can be a scary place but wise man the darkness does scare me it is the light i produce that i take comfort in the world is asleep but i am awake reflecting on all of the good times in my life without having anyone awake to worry me sleep little girl sleep no need to be awake you are loved don’t let the darkness consume you but darkness is my friend it shields me from my worries an outlet to watch my troubles disappear into the galaxy above stars smiling down upon me whispering the secrets of my past for they have watched me grow for they have seen my misfortune and my dreams shape me you are foolish the galaxy does not care for you it does not know your name silence laughs at you foolish man you were never wise the stars are not aligned with you you are only laughing to fill the silence you have faced your whole life i’m sorry you are afraid -Katherine Beth
