I have never ever wore black. It is a colour that I hate the most. You know why? Because I fear from the dark. Anything that is dark seems as threatening as death to me, or even more than that.
My pulse rate, my heartbeat, my breath, all racing at their fastest pace. My little brain, inside the bony box, is trying to catch the wild thoughts that are running across my mind. But, these thoughts are out of control, thereby making this night even more frightening for me.
Numerous nights I have spent unslept for this fear overpowers all my strengths. Never have I entered a dark tunnel for the reason that it is way too dark inside for me.
Many say that I'm a coward. Some say I'm just a kid and it is obvious for kids to fear the dark. A few say that it is not a phobia, it is just that nights have always been the most haunting part of the day. While, I say that I hate dark. I hate it for just a single reason that it scares the hell out of me.
The phobia of dark is known as nyctophobia.
