Darkness
By Daryl Bracken
When I was young and full of dreams, I feared one Dred
I hated
the night and the monsters under my bed
My parents would come and
act like they had fled
And leave alone once more in my bed
The
Night would get darker, and my thoughts would too
dreaming of Monster
and what they could do
I would wake through the night startled by
sceines
all in my head and all in my dreams
I would wake and
hear screams how could this all be a dream
the bodies would lay out
in the hall, God need a phone someone to call
I can hear them breathing
as they look though the house
I hide under covers as quite as a mouse
Telling
my parents about being as scared as I am
they laugh and point quit
being a ham
there are no monster under your bed
they say if there
are monster why ain't I dead
Years have gone By and still I have
fears I hid form the monsters for so many years
I still to this day
have all of my fears living with childhood monster for so many years
Today
I awoke with blood on my hands, I dreamt I had killed one but this blood
is real
I stare at the blood and can not understand, It was a dream
so how can this be
I jumped from my bed and to the bathroom to see,
I had blood covering me
In all of my years this has never happened
to me, all of this blood no one could see
No one had noticed once
i had cleaned, I smiled and wonder what had happened to me
When the
door to my room came crashing down, and men with guns and hostle frowns
they pointed at me and said to get on the ground, I look at them all
before I went down
What was going on is all I could think, why were
these people in such a stink
They cuffed me and asked questions I
didn't understand, why do they keep saying why did you?
I shake my
head and try to find words to tell them i don't know what there asking
what did I do
They pick me up roughly and haul me through rooms and
I see with my Eyes all of the gloom
My family is salughtered asleep
in their beds, why would he do this one of them said.
Now as I sit
in the darkness no longer hiding from the monster at night
the doctor
says I will never be right, because in the darkness and all the fear
I had become One of the Monster I had feared all these years.
