Façade 9: Darkness

Darkness

I never knew that I'd grew up loving the dark

It once made me tremble

And made me go hide and take shelter

Desperate to save myself from its misery

I'm so used to cry out

So people could see and give me their attention

I love how they would tend to my needs

But as I grow up, I learned to cry in secret

I never knew the need for change

Not until I've realized things have really changed

I was not the kid who seeks attention

I just grew out from it and now in dark detentions

I cry in secret and muffled voice

I hide in darkness, under soft blankets

And as I drown myself in mourning and grieving

I just know that I have to keep it hidden

So every night as they go to sleep

I cry together with their loud snores

And in darkness, I tremble

Making lullabies out of my whimpers.
