Afraid of the Dark…

Why am I so afraid of the dark…?
My eyes are closing…
I stare at my empty bed…
And I procrastinate…
Time for bed…
I keep thinking of other things to do…
I go around and round in circles…
And don’t want to face the night…
It is midnight…
I’m still staring at the empty bed…
I think of work…
I’ll be falling asleep all day…
Everyone will ask, “What’s the matter”…
No point in rehashing my night terrors…
Demons in my mind…
Which have become a huge part of me…
Terribly afraid of the dark and I can’t sleep…
