thanatophobia

I’m not afraid of the dark
I’m afraid of the look in their eyes
When nothing that I do
Seems to suffice
None of my aims is right for the world

I don’t appreciate the sun
Like they do
For I know its rays of light are cruel
So full of killing power
Before it’s burning out

The night brings shadows so soft
Their comfort eases my pain
It hides the truth that hurts so much
The dark is my element
And I know I’m not the same

They look at me like I’m a ghost
And sometimes they don’t even see me at all
Just like as if I was a living dead
Or a dead that’s trying to get alive
Scaring everyone away

You say I’ll go right to hell
Don’t you know you’ve already taken me there?
You enjoy insulting me
I guess you must be friends with the devil
I’m not a saint - but at least I’m true to myself.
