Shadows of the Night

Thoughts

Last night the moon seemed to say something. I could not overrule the place around me with the moon shining brightly through the forest. Parts of me were breaking. The strong light from the moon became my tamer. Bits and pieces of me hid behind the old and worn trees. I struggled to keep hiding from the light that lurked through the night. The moon glared at the sight of me, telling me my time was done, but I wasn't willing to leave. I am the thing many people are scared of. Being lost inside of me, that is their fear, but the part they fear the most is never coming out of me. Why can't I just be wanted? I could hide you from the dangers in the world, yet people want to escape me. I am a blanket that keeps you safe when you have nowhere to go, no where to hide. I am the reason why you see the light but nobody ever realizes that. Without me, light would never be light. Sight would never be sight.
