Night

I’m scared of the dark…
No! I’m scared of Night.
For with Night comes the silence that deafens me.
As it is Night who unhinges the doors to my sanity,
Allowing those thoughts that I thought were un-thought to be thought again.

When they laughed
and called me names.
The time no one believed
and I was blamed.
That day they saw
and I was ashamed.
When I realized people are animals
and can’t be tamed.

Stop it! Stop it!
I can’t take it anymore!
As they scream to me
One by one
Two by two
All at once
A painful slue
Of this and that
And that of this
One more slander
And ill have a fit
Go insane
And slit my wrist
Die that night by the hands of Night
And succumb to the torturous bliss
