The Scary Things

Supes aren't the only thing to fear

I’m terrified of closing my eyes,

I’m afraid of what’s coming for me.

I never told you because you’d never believe,

But it just so happens that personal demons are all I see.

You didn’t believe me when I said,

“I’m not afraid to die.”

Death and I go back a ways,

Even farther than you and I.

I don’t even care anymore,

That you don’t think it’s true,

Because they’re real as anything,

And they can judge me too.

You don’t know what its like,

To think like such a loon,

To hug yourself and cry,

Hoping it will all end soon.

I’m terrified of closing my eyes,

I’m afraid of what’s outside too,

Because though they haunt me in the night,

They are nowhere near as scary as the things people do.

This started out as my way of saying that I'm afraid of what will happen after last night. Then it turned into something else, so....yeah.
Hope you enjoyed! Reviews are always great :)

There's that sense of hauntings... the mind filled with shadows... and the fear that can keep us frozen in time... wishing for the light.. I've had such horrid times in my life... feeling overwhelmed... Your work is awesome, and the last line just stuns.
