My irrational fear of the dark Engulfed my childhood Alone at night Turn off the lights And run with all I could

Dare not to glimpse back to the dark For fear I might see it A pair of eyes Of unknown size Lurking in the abyss

The shivers course straight up my spine I hope the beast is dead Now in peace I try to sleep Safe within my bed
