Nightmares

         Monster Under The Bed

The room is becoming black and dark

The fear is racing up and down my veins

The things I start to hear make my bones stark

Feeling as if I’m constricted with chains

       Banging and screaming from under my bed

Can’t help but seeing figures coming near

Closing my eyes, but only seeing red

Finding the courage to call my mother dear

Safety racing up the hard, wooden stairs

Bright lights filling up the entire room

She looks under the bed and then declares,

”Don’t worry, nothing of impending doom.”

A giant weight lifting off my shoulder

Fear is in the eye of the beholder
