Staring at the ceiling laying on my back

Looking all around me not one light I see
I shut my eyes and try to dream
All about the life before me
The dark so silent,
so peaceful,
so kind, and
yet so scary and hides me in the night.

I cry out for my parents when I start to shiver
That is the darkness that gives me shame.

I wonder how the morning will be,
will my eyes burn,
or will they shine.

Though the darkness awaits that I know for sure.
I know that every night when I lay in my bed
It will be silent and scary but always the same.

I say  I am not scared though I always am
It is the darkness that awaits me
And I know that’s for sure.

Or is it fact of knowing that someone can be
watching me falling asleep.
But it is only the darkness,
I know that for sure.

Laying there in peace though I might in fear.
Laying in silence is what I know best.

I may be sick, I may be energetic
but the one creature that scares me the most
Is the darkness that awaits me.

As my eyes fill with water,
feeling it drip down my face
I lay on my stomach and pray for a
good night sleep

Though I may not get one 
I believe
the darkness that awaits me when I go to bed
is a darkness that keeps me tucked in.
It is the darkness that,
keeps me warm,
protects me from the people who would watch me fall asleep.
Though the darkness fills me in fear
and I need a night light,
the darkness can be my friend and,
I sure know that I am right.

For all who are fearful of the creature during the night
don’t be scared it doesn’t bite.
It wants to help and keep you safe,
most of all I know
Thats for sure.

The darkness my savior
the darkness my new found light,
the darkness is what makes me right.

I know for sure that it sure is a scary sight
but the darkness doesn’t want to fight.
The darkness will dance through the sky as you fall asleep
though you can’t see it
you know it is always there.

I know for sure that the darkness
always awaits,
it may be there
it might not.
But even on the brightest days
just look beyond the sun, clouds and, sky,
and the darkness the awaits you
and will be there all day.

I know for sure that the darkness that awaits you
will be in your room at night when you turn off
your lights and say good night.

The darkness my friend , 
sometimes you have to say good bye.
But what I know for sure,
and you will always be there.

Though at first you are scary then you are
nice and want me safe,
you make me feel as if I am always right.

And I know that for sure.

I never know,
that the darkness is there,
only until I hear it call.
It is the darkness that is bright
shines a new light
and I know that it is
all mine.
I hope it knows
how much it means to me,
to be there while
I lay asleep.
II know for sure that the darkness that
holds me in the night is always
there for me even though we fight.
you know how to help me fall asleep at night
and wake me in the morning.
you know how
to put a smile on my face
You mean so much to me
you creature in the night
I am no longer in fear
only when you go
I feel ashamed because you are the one thing that
gives me joy
Still have a
fear
in my soul but I
am growing with
compassion
you may be scared
frightened
of this likely creature
but you have no
idea what i have been through.

Lost my inner light,
lost hope.

Felt like nothing,
bullied,
ignored,
left behind,
the last choice.

But what pulls me through,
is the darkness,
it fills me up when I am empty.

The peaceful,
calm,
kind,
Darkness.

Staring at the ceiling laying on my back
shut my eyes tight,
trying to dream.
the my head fills with the thought.

The Darkness awaits.
