I am afraid of the dark. I am scared by the night. It welcomes me, It consumes me. The darkness counsels me' The darkness knows me. The peaceful silence, The boundless eternity, I fear the comfort that overwhelms me. In the dark the power of the world lays at my feet. The thoughtless currents erase my sorrow. Happiness floods over me and leaves me fulfilled. I am afraid of the compassion of the night. The gothic darkness that fits me. The fundamental feeling of belonging in the dark. I fear I have found my home.
