What goes through your mind
that you can’t sleep without a light.
What do you see that makes you
wake up with fright.
What is in the darkness
that only you can see.
What is lurking there
that makes you want to flee.
Do you think you are
in imminent danger.
Is there someone hiding there
that to you is a stranger.
Does he want to harm you
or take you away.
Does he not listen when you tell him
you don’t want to play.
Lying there do you think
these terrors will never pass.
Instead of hoping
maybe tonight will be the last.
mind and its thoughts…
