My Mind At Five
My Mind at Five
I was but five, I had a fear.
It was my mind, the dark was near!
I could not sleep, I rolled and tossed.
Could hear them creep, as they by me, passed!
I saw the trees move in the wind.
Their branches screamed, I saw them grin!
The moonlit lights showed me their glares,
That the window glass and the cupboards bared!
What could I do, they wanted in!
I ran to you, you tucked me in.
You explained to me, it was all in my head,
And that I had to sleep in my own safe bed!
So, this went on, every night till late.
I did hang on, but my eyes gave weight.
In the darkest night, with my eyes shut tight,
They antagonized me with my mind and sight.
Then came the day, I grew up in age.
But my mind at five, how it took center stage!
