if the curtain isn't completely closed
i'm often still afraid
of the darkness on the other side.

i'm old enough now to know that
the darkness is nothing more than
harmless midnight air
and i'm also old enough now
to appreciate the fact that
i still enjoy being a kid.

Wow. Excellent poem! I love this so much, and I can relate to it so well. You only get to be young once, I don't understand why so many people fake maturity in an attemp to rush to adulthood.
Great art here, well spoken.
Thanks for sharing.

If I could fall asleep tonight
you know I’d dream of you
and wake up wondering
why my heart is so cold
