Poem

My Grandmother’s Bed

I sleep in my grandmother’s bed. 
I don’t like it,
her snores echoing in my brain. 
Stealing my sleep. 
I wonder why she won’t let me have my own room. 
As I ponder this question,
I hear it-
tap, tap. 
tap, tap. 
Echoing down the hallway. 
The rhythm creating dissonance with the pounding of my heartbeat,
growing faster and faster,
his footsteps growing closer. 
The clicking of a flashlight- 
it’s him. 
Why?  
The cold, harsh light hits my face. 
He looks disappointed. 
Tap, tap. 
tap, tap. 
As the echo grows softer, 
I am grateful, 
That I don’t have my own room.
