When I was younger, I used to be afraid.
I feared the dark.
I feared the monsters under my bed.
I feared the skeletons hiding in the closet.
But now, I fear nothing.
For there is darkness within me which I have learned to love.
For the monsters I see, they appear human wearing their facades.
For the skeletons who no longer hide, but sing to me in the night.
I am no longer afraid of what I can finally accept.
