Are you afraid of the dark?
Yes.

I am afraid of the corner of my eye as soon as the lights turn of, I am afraid of what I can't see moving when I turn around, just the fraction of a second to slow.

Are you afraid of the dark?
I guess so.

I am afraid of what isn't fought by the light anymore, what doesn't need to hide in the blind corners, because now they are everywhere.

Are you afraid of the dark?
I don't know.

I am afraid of my own thoughts, not distracted anymore by anything to think about when all visuals are gone.

Are you afraid of the dark?
No.

I am afraid of being left alone with myself, having to helplessly surrender, because there is only one thing I can't see my mind attacking when I turn around.

Are you afraid of yourself?
Yes, I am afraid.
