Moonflower
She is afraid of the dark
 This sweet moonflower
 But there is more for her to fear
 In sunlight
 She is uncomfortable in the day
 She wants for the moon to rise
 
 People make her life so lonely
 She cannot empathize
 Refuses to sympathize
 She’s afraid of her shadow
 For it may stab her in the back
 Afraid of being torn
 But to fear death,
 She should never have been born
 
 She is afraid of the dark
 Such a sweet moonflower
 Blossoming in the night
 And yet she fears where she belongs
 
 The sunlight reveals
 Everything she tries to hide
 She refuses to sympathize
 With the exposition
 And she lives for the rising of the moon
