“I'm scared of swimming in the sea,
Dark shapes moving under me.
Every fear I swallow makes me small.
Inconsequential things occur,
Alarms are triggered,
Memories stir.
It's not the way it has to be.”

“It is dark in my favorite dream. Someone is following me. I don't know why. I'm scared. Then suddenly I lift off. Far away. How do I feel? As if I am swimming in the air. Free. Weightless. Nobody can reach me. Nobody can touch me. It's a wonderful feeling.”

Allow me to remark
That Ghosts have just as good a right
In every way, to fear the light,
As Men to fear the dark.”
