I used to be afraid of the dark
Monsters would creep from under the bed
The fear of not knowing the unknown
Black holes appearing
Trying to suck me into their world
Now as a grown adult,
I'm not so afraid of it anymore
It was like one day
I decided not to be afraid anymore
What was my secret?
I don't know
People have always told me to not be a coward
There is no handbook on getting over a fear
How do we get over something that makes us humans?
If it was that easy,
Then I wouldn't hold onto my fear of height
Ironic for a tall person
I love sleeping in the dark now
But I am still holding onto my nightlight
Just in case
