Dark

Yes, I have a horrible fear of the dark. But people tease others because of their fears. I am not afraid.. Haters are gonna hate hate hate :)

The sea crashes loud a night,
For this one thing I was unprepared.
It was bed time, and there was no light,
And being myself I got really scared.

I hate the dark, it scares me straight,
In my bed I'd nervously sit.
I had this fear since I was eight,
But at least I can admit it.

That's really a bold poem and something gutsy. I like they way you have been outspoken about your fear. The title Dark really suits this prose.

I really appreciate it! I’m glad my piece I wrote years back is still enjoyed by others :)

Yes, it's really amazing 👍

So simple yet so brilliantly quirky. That last line not particularly conforming to the poem as a whole in its refusal to land the rhyme despite still having it is amazing. And the musicality flows with it, so - Brava!! Much enjoyed!

I like the honesty in this poem, as Coyote already stated. It doesn't hide anything, it's frank and open and that's refreshing. Thank you for sharing this with us. My fear is height.
