The timer begins,
The clock strikes midnight.
I lay in my room,
Scared for my life.
Is this nightmare real,
Or all in my head?
I don't really care
Because I'll soon be dead.
The terror creeps closer.
I'm inches from death.
I stand by the door
Holding my breath.
Nothing is heard,
So the light I flash.
I'm safe for the moment.
To the other side I dash.
A strange sound is heard,
So I shut the door tight.
Leave me, I pray
With all of my might.
I check on my teddy
As he sits on my bed.
Three creatures, they hissed,
Then from the light, they fled.
I run to the closet,
Where a monster camps out.
His hideous face
Makes you want to shout.
He snarls at me.
My heart begins to rush.
I keep the door closed
'Til he turns back into a plush.
I repeat this process
As I cower in fright.
Then the alarm! 6a.m.!
I've made it through the night!
I may be good for now,
But I must do this again.
This horrible game
That I play with my friends.
I'm scared of the dark;
I fear the end of the day.
But it doesn't matter
Because I'll die anyway.
