Shriek

My blood freezes as their high- pitched 
vile shriek echoes from the close by forest.
Every now and then I get a glimpse, 
as if they roam in my house, watching over me. 

At mid-night, very often;
They shake my bed roughly,
I sense as if someone is running down the hall way,
I hear someone, clawing on the glass windows.

Doors open and close by themselves
Creepy giggles from the closet
makes my mind numb.

They are very headstrong, evil spirits;
They want to abduct my soul 
after putting me to sleep forever.

But now making myself strong;
I have decided to teach all devils 
a good lesson with the help of Christ.
