Scary (re-posted)

By pilo

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why is the dark so scary? What fills me full of dread? And why is it always dark as hell, When it’s time to go to bed. I take the stairs two at a time, there’s darkness all around. Although my eye’s can’t see a thing, My ears pick up a sound. I race to my bedroom “The thing” at my heels, Can anyone know how this really feels? Quivering, shaking and all tense inside, Blinding panic for a place to hide. I jump under the duvet, my eye’s scrunched tight But my ears are still open wide. Only one thing can save me now, I’ll place a finger in either side! Written February 9th, 2002 © on Feb 09 2002 12:32 AM PST   10 • 0 • 14
