Why? Why do you fear the dark? Is it cause you cannot see what hides in the shadows? Your mind is filled with superstition and fear. You imagine only evil resides in the darkness. Is that why you have thrown me into the shadows? Am I that scary or grotesque? What have I done to frighten you? I’ve done nothing truly evil in this world.

I’m not afraid of what I cannot see, so I will live in the shadows. I will live in the shadows, only to make your life simpler. Even though everything about me makes you fear me. I must expose my deepest secret. I’m in love with you! Your fear of me is a flaw. Someone who truly loves someone must love everything about them. You were not given the ability to see past my scars. So I know you can’t see the purity of my heart and soul. So walk freely in the night, cause I am in the shadows, not to hurt you, but to protect you. So I wait… I wait for you to let go of your fears, cause I possess another trait you can’t see… Hope!
