the darkness

3 1 1
                                    

The blackout curtains are closed

The actual light is off but the small light on dresser is still on

The music is on

I'm completely covered and wrapped in blankets

The door is closed

Why? You ask is it like this


The curtains are closed because of the fear of people peering in

The night light is on because of the fear of someone watching me while I sleep

The music is on for if it's not the voices tend to get louder and louder

Blankets cover all over if I'm not I'm being dragged under and may never come back
