Alesia Leach Poet Rhyme

Scared To Death

Awakened from my slumber 
The fear rushes through my body 
My heart sounds like thunder 
The air is heavy upon me 

Creatures take shape 
Molded from the black 
Under the covers I escape, 
but they're ready to attack

And then I heard 
the floorboards creak
More chilling thoughts stirred 
I even think I peed. 

Voices begin to whisper 
From underneath my bed 
"What shall we do with her, 
as we've scared her to death?"
