I'm afraid of the dark

I stay in the light

Unless I know I am not alone

 

I love laughing

And to make others laugh

But on my own terms

 

I am motivated

But I do not resent breaks

I have lived in a state of constant tired

 

I stetch myself too thin

It has caught up with me

Once or twice

 

I would rather be okay at a million things

Than virtuosic at one

I love what I am becoming

 

One day

I will be able to sleep

Without my light
