my worst nightmare

He sits in the attic all day, trimming his fur A creature without a name or a country Climbs into my closet an hour before bedtime I sense him, but cannot see him For he can be invisible when he wants to be I sense he has fangs, and claws He wants to hurt me Of this I am sure I am terrified, for his presence is suspected At first I think he is under the bed My mother looks and assures me he is not I know something is there though Something evil that will grab my foot I cannot fall asleep, for I am terrified My heart beats triple time I hear a snarl and I scream Something under my bed laughs The closet door opens. It is my worst nightmare Coming to life

Sometimes writing my worst fears brings out the creature under my bed, then I can cuddle it to sleep. Nightmares are like us. We all want to be understood. Thank you for shedding your light upon us.

Hello Caren, Wow! This is scary. Scarier than mine with something or someone laying behind me unseen. A fav. Hugs. /darlene/
