Sanity 345

i'm not fearful of the dark any longer

but i am still afraid of the demons that crawl from it's stillness

i've discovered the worst monsters are never under our beds or inside our closets

they're in our backs

feeding from our every held breath

waiting for the moment when we turn off the light

there are also demons in the light

they disguise themselves as humans

bright, beautiful humans

we think they are the best of us

but in reality

their shell of a person is rottening

they're empty apart from the pieces of brown leaves

hanging from the inside of their autumn bodies

withered

the demons of light

they're the most dangerous ones

for we are not aware they're evil

for we've been told light equals right

for nobody told us

it's not that easy

to cheat and to lie

for is easy to confuse the starling radiance of Heaven

with the flames of Hell
