the Dark

sometimes I am so afraid
to be alone in the dark
the things i might see 
the things that might be there
that i can not see

the feelings i get
there is a pit in my stomach
it wont go away no matter how much i want it to

hiding away in the dark places of my mind 
are the thoughts that come out in the night
scary things, happy things
things i fear of happening
things i wish with all my heart would come true

i lay my head down
now to sleep 
into the dark i stare
as i close my eyes
my thoughts clutter my mind 
too many things rushing threw
i cant always see the light 
and am afraid of what i might find if i let my mind wander

so i will get up 
and turn on the lights
so i don't have to face
what is hiding in the night
