Irrational fears
These questions are mysteries
Simple, frightening
Nightmares of folly
Incapacitating dreams
I cannot see through
The deep dark unknown
Making monsters from shadows
Outside the window
Tapping, tap tapping
The bogey man in hiding
Lurking with his axe
A hungry spirit
A child's feet step lightly down
On the bedroom floor
Bladder full, hurting
Froze in fear when the boards creak
He comes to eat me
Questions, in the night
Has my time come, will I die
Afraid, paralyzed
Scared and scarred by myths
Children choking on madness
Suffocation, dread
