Believe me

Covers over my head

I should be safe in my big bed.

The doors been closed

The lights been doused

All is still the sandmans in the house.

I close my eyes, maybe tonight!

I can rest and sleep sound and tight.

Then it happens, a small creak at first.

My mouth goes dry, familiar sick in my stomach

as I silently begin to cry.

A small thin filtering shaft of light,

Is revealed as the door is opened exposing the sight.

A huge black shadow framed in the door,

My heart sinks low, the monster is back for more.

What can I do? no  where to run!

I'm supposed to be safe, I must be a bad one!

I must have some how led it on,

I deserve what's happening, although clue I have none.

Covers are quietly pulled back from my face.

The shadow becomes hard and heavy, I am so afraid!

I close my eyes and  enter my world,

It can't reach me there i'm safe and secure.

Alone in my land inside my head.

My body being used, I detach.

I am now lead

Numb I am I'm only a child.

Who can I talk to? what can I do?

Tell me one thing!

Would you believe me if I confided in you?
