In Darkness There is Fear


At night I see dark figures
while a lay in my bed,
I'm told nothing is there
and it's all in my head.

I hear scary noises
and my mind sees much more,
the figures all around me
have followed me before.

They are not furry blue
nor do they share a smile,
there's more than just one
and they stay for a while.

Their touch makes me tremble
and fear enters my mind,
the horror builds up
when peace would be kind.

The fear keeps me in bed
and dark figures come near,
the darkness brings a chill
and I hope they disappear.

I try to whisper them gone
like the spell of a witch,
I hold my breath longer
and I see the light switch.

I am afraid to get up
and turn on the light,
the switch across my room
would make it alright.

The sun soon brings comfort
when the night becomes day,
I rub tired looking eyes
but in bed I can't stay.

Rest is something I need
but night keeps me awake,
the darkness is haunting
and my thoughts a mistake.

If only wide open eyes
could see angels instead,
the figures that hide there
have me frozen in bed.

Peace in the shadows
and a calm through the night,
this is what I really want
when there is no nightlight.
