Short Boogieman Poems

quiet as you all lay down
the boogieman comes without a sound
stealing into your open sleep
ready to eat your little soul without a peep
i hear him through my one open eye
i see him with my tightly shut ears
to gobble me up inside
using my darkest fears
the Ijerraq knows when I will die
because him peered through my one open eye
softly he came and out i went
through deaths door
my life cold and spent...

My face is covered
In splotches
My hair is dull and brown
My stomach bulges
And my butt is fat

My back- it aches
My head- it throbs

And at my clothes 
The always stare

My side- it pains
My finger’s jammed
And in the door
My hand was slammed

There’s a moth

With all my might

My room’s dark

One sentence to turn the light to darkness
One feeling that takes hold
My body freezes and goes frigid
My present disappears and the past floods
Monsters from under the bed
The boogieman comes out the closet
Please stop it, I don't want to know this
I don't want to remember this
Please take me away, far from this
Tears fall like waterfalls
The pain clouds everything
Someone save me
Now instead of later on
Bring me back, revive me
I feel like there's no way
Please help me
Not to remember...
