She laid upon her bed, her room a light in twilight.
Her back pressed against her pillows, her body flooded with fear as her eyes searched the room.
Edge to edge, wall to wall, searching for any sign of darkness.
Every corner alight, a lamp in every inch.
They said her room was brighter in the night then the outside world in the day.
But she feared the shadows, what the darkness could hold.
The unknown and unseen
As her eyes prove to her heart their was no darkness to be found.
Not even the smallest shadow.
She let herself relax
Her heart returned to normal
As she drifted to sleep, not even aware of the fact she lived a life on the knife edge of fear and panic.
Nor did would she ever consider that a night could be slept in darkness, instead of her forever daylight
All she knew was this was her world, fear and all, this is how she would be
