When I was a child, I was afraid of the dark, not because I couldn't see,
but for the monsters that lurked in the dark corners of my room.
I swore that when I grew up, I would conquer that silly fear of mine,
for no adult sees ghostly shapes in the dark corners of their rooms.
But I was wrong, those monsters grew up with me.
Now, they just looked at me and smiled.
They held me close and called me a friend, smiling from ear to ear.
They stood, ready to sink their claws into me and hold on for dear life,
to slowly drain me of my energy and all that was good in my heart.
The monsters took up the space between my ears, whispering commands that I would dutifully follow.
It took me too long to learn how to get rid of those monsters,
afraid of their wrath.
But when that day finally came, it was like someone had finally turned on a light.
No more lurking monsters,
and no more dark corners.
