Adele Bouthillier Poet Free verse

Scared of the Dark

Night brings thoughts
       of darkness.
Pain hurts in the cold
       loneliness of midnight.
Stay awake
       with thought
After thought
       Shadows dance
With thought after thought
       And stir up the Demons
I play dangerous games
       with ,Aww, my creatures
of Night.
         Shiny tools and trinkets
consume and coddle me.
         Just fall asleep
and they will go away
till tonight.
Sunrise brings new hope,
      But then Sunset comes.
I find I am still
      Afraid of the dark
