Darkness...

Most people think Halloween is fun and cute.

To others, they live their own nightmares daily.

The ghouls and demons. That haunt them in their

waking presents. Of past traumas and hurts.

that still affect them to this very day.

I wish Halloween. Was just that time of year.

That was fun and interesting.

And present day made up spooks scared me only.

But the reality is.

I am still scared of my own demons

of my own past, that haunts me still.

And make the lights turn off for me.

And the darkness showing up again.

And then your own imagination kicks in and sets you

off into a hell-bent ride into oblivion.

Making you feel scared, upset and traumatised.

As you have no idea how to get out of it.

Or when it will stop or not.

You live each second, minute, hour, day, whatever...

for those moments alone. Hoping you feel better

soon and come out of this nightmare again real soon...

Using your words as a roundabout greeting, ' Hoping you feel better ~ soon and come out of this nightmare again real soon...'

Reading your words i understand as much as someone can who's not wearing your skin. There are so many fears about life, that it does seems as if ghouls and demons scurry about, itching and nudging.. tis evil awful. And yet, as I read the voice coming from your words i sense such a beautiful spirit! I sense that hiding away is such wonderful skill to lay before the world. Maybe, hopefully, you'll find it.. be able to find it.. and - be happy. It's always possible. (forgive my many typos, think i've sorted them x_

Unfortunately, the world can be a very dark place; we all have our demons to fight against, some more than others. I hope you feel better soon, Dawn. There are other lights in this world, and you are not alone.

I do understand how it feels to battle those demons.
I think I like Halloween for the monsters it brings.
Because I know that they're not real. Sometimes the real monsters are people.
