Age 6
Night after night
I suffered from
A horrible fright
I ran and ran
Faster and faster
It wasn't a man
Awakened in the night
Breathless and scared
Switched on the light
A bad dream or a nightmare
Traumatic frame of time
To sleep I couldn't dare
Leapt from the bed
Searched the closet
To dream, I dread
I cover my face with a spread
Thinking he can't get me
Not wanting to wake up dead
In my mind….
Howlin' as he chases me
A wolf with big teeth
On an old noisy tractor
Big teeth and long ears
Little red riding hood
Is that where I got my fears?
