The Night

You shake and stir throughout the room.
You cause a scare with what may loom.
To bring so much fear to the young.
To make them stop and hold their tongue.
Many are scared 'cause of the dark.
I won't back down cause it's all bark.
You've made people feel so much gloom,
but I know you are not my doom.
