Darkness

The Darkness Always Scared Me

I've always been scared of the dark it was never my cup of tea, but the thing that confused me was that that's what I loved about it. Well that's probably not the best way to put it. Your probably a bit confused as well. Just trust me though, it will make sense soon enough. The thing is I've always hated the idea of being all on my own in a dark and creepy house. The thing I liked about the dark is when I could go in my room, shut the door and turn the lights off. Block everyone and everything else out. Just have some me time. It used to be easy to do that, when I was younger I mean, but now even if I shut the door and put my pillow over my head there is still one sound. The sound I will always hate. The sound of my parents, arguing, all the time. Sometimes I wonder if I should run away and never come back to them. It would give me the freedom that every teenager wants and the opportunity to sit in the dark once more and not have that horrible sound in my ears. Then I think how immature, I would never survive on my own. There must be another way of getting that darkness and silence I so desperately need. I can't quite think of it, but I know I will find a way, no matter what it takes
