it is dark
i am alone
the night is no comfort
i am scared
you told me stories that have scarred me for life
you scared me
you worried me
why did you tell me this?
i live with this every night
i need the light to comfort me
to shine so i can see
to be safe from the creatures
the creatures in your stories
the ones that hide and watch you and me
waiting to take your soul
the ones i run from
the evil ones
the scary ones
so i turn on the lights in every room i go
just to make sure i can see
hoping for protection
knowing that if they wanted me, they would have me and kill me or whatever they wish
good night, as i turn on the lights........
