Fear of the Dark

When you’re little, night time is scary, because there are monsters hiding right under the bed. When you get older the monsters are still there but they turn into self doubt, loneliness, regret, etc. Even though we may think that we older and wiser you still find yourself scared of the dark. For some, sleep is the easiest thing to do, you just close your eyes and go off to dream land where scary monsters don't exist. But for some of us, who are still too scared to close our eyes cuz we think even in our sleep the monsters will come back and haunt us. Sleep just simply seems to be out of our grasp. We want it, we need it, but we don't know how to get it. Once our demons face our fears, and turn to each other for help, night time isn't so scary, because we realize we aren't alone in the dark.
