I'm no longer afraid of the dark.
My whole life I have been terrified of what shadows are hiding within the darkness. I use to jump from my light switch to my bed to make sure the demons and monsters wouldn't yank me into the seemingly endless darkness. I would always tuck my blanket around my feet for extra protection. Sleeping with my stuffed white lion and white lion pillow because they could scare away the darkness and the monsters that come with it. Hoping my night light would hurry and turn on as soon as the darkness slipped over it.
I'm no longer afraid of the dark or what lies within that darkness.
In fact it embraces me and I fall into it. In a way the gaping hole is a comfort. It's a sign I can still feel.
Even if I am feeling the horrible pain of that hole gaping wider. The demons and monsters are now the only ones I have. I've pushed everyone else away.
The familiar feelings of the darkness is a comfort.
I am no longer afraid of the dark.
