Scary Moments

It's scary to think of such things 
I've gone through, or maybe have seen 
Listen close to the words 
Shh. Just read 

Average day could do no wrong
As screams running through the hall
I panic , to check the case 
My sister urged me into the room
I saw the terror in her face 

I asked what happened, she replies 
"The door! It just busted open "
Mother whispers of evil spirits 
"They've let themselves in!"
The jolt of fright trembled our feet

So now you've found yourself 
In a room full of fears 
Trapped there with sisters tears 
Heart beat drowned pain you felt 
The slow footsteps that made you melt 

It must be a joke, this isn't real!
Until we watched the knob turn 
Gently and slow, our bodies still
"Block the door!" I yelled 
Don't let it in! 

Watching the door open
We could only wonder
As the figure creeped
Each step brought weakness
In our bodies to fade to sleep ...

The first night soon went 
As if a dream meant to measure 
Our worst nightmare 
The reality of when...
It came back the second...


                                     
                                -J.W
