Things in the NightA Poem by Jake StaffeldApparently, it's scary.
As you turn out the light
Hear the bump
A creak of a stair
The moan of a door
Fight the sleep
Hope that it's all
In your imagination
As you lay down
Steps come down the hall
And from under the bed
Your childhood nightmares
Have come alive
Turn on the light
They disappear
Get back in bed
They return
Have a good night
A voice says
But you're already gone
