Monsters are Coming After Me

Darla Cooke on Aug 1, 2009

Alone and afraid.

What is that bumping against the wall?

Suddenly I’m feeling very afraid.

I’m trapped here in my bedroom,

defenseless and extremely frightened.

I grab the flashlight off my nightstand,

hoping that I am only being paranoid.

I hear a low and angry growl,

as an awful stench fills the room.

My light’s beam suddenly goes out,

leaving me trembling in total darkness.

The monsters are coming after me.

I have no chance of escaping now.

i keep one of those touch sensor lights plugged into my floor wall socket on the floor panels so whenever it’s dark and when i go to sleep there is always light. i also feel the same about the darkness. a really atmospheric poem and scary too!
