Afraid to Sleep

Scary poem.

I am afraid to sleep at night,

for the darkness is chasing me.

On my bed I tremble in fright,

menacing shadows I can see.

In every corner they appear,

in the room they float around.

I can see them drawing near,

yet they never make a sound.

Are they ghosts from my past,

come to haunt my every dream?

How much longer will I last,

before you hear me scream?

Ms. Darla,
you must be in my bedroom sometimes at night, I’ll be so scared that I’ll be full of fright. I’ll pop a sleeping pill and do it quick because when I’m scared I’m not feeling that s*it!!!
