Fear

All alone in the darkness,
I can’t break free.
As the room closes in,
There is only blackness.

I feel fear, like a cold hand running down my spine,
As tears trickle down my cheek,
From under my blanket I peek.

I feel trapped,
Fear boiling inside.
The more I try to hide,
The more my heart thumps inside…

What will become of me?
Will I live or die?
These thoughts run through my head,
As I lie in my bed.

As footsteps grow closer,
I quiver and shake,
For I have a big decision to make,
“Go freely or try to escape.”

A hand yanks my blanket,
It fly’s off, to the ground.
I roll to the side,
As death reaches forward.

Now fear floats away,
I made my decision,
It was to escape,
To live and not die.
