Overcoming My Fear of the Dark |
|
|
I am a lively boy, but every time night falls, my mind is filled with a pile of
scary things such as "terror," "ghosts," and "monsters." I am afraid of the
dark! I hate the dark! I wish the night would never come!
Whenever it's time to go to bed, I beg my mother to let me sleep with her. It
used to work, but since this semester started, my mother's heart seems as hard
as a rock. No matter how hard I try to please her or beg her, she refuses, and
sometimes even drives me out of her room. So, I have to sadly climb into my own
bed, cuddle my stuffed animal tightly, and leave the light on all night. I stay
under the covers, holding my phone, the only source of light in the pitch-black
darkness. Only when I can no longer resist sleep do I finally close my eyes and
drift off, sometimes waking up suddenly in fear and waiting in terror for the
sun to rise. As a result, I often get punished for sleeping in class due to lack
of sleep.
As days pass, my courage grows day by day. I went from being too scared to even
stick my head out of the covers to being able to peek out, then to sticking my
whole head out, and eventually, I no longer rely on my stuffed animal or phone.
Finally, I can turn off the light and sleep peacefully, happily wandering in the
world of dreams!
You may laugh at me for being too afraid, even more so than girls, but I know
that I am the best! I know that I have overcome myself and everything! I no
longer believe in the dark!
I want to say to the night: I no longer believe in you! I am no longer afraid of
you! I am no longer timid! I no longer believe in the dark! |
