Imagining Fear

Lock all the doors,

Lock all the windows,

Feet off the floor,

Beware scary shadows

Dive into bed,

Hide under the covers

Should take some meds

And maybe recover?

Imagination takes off

As you fear in the night

Imagination aloft 

As your mind make believe’s frights.

Shaking you wonder,

What if it’s real?

Turn a boom of thunder 

Into make believe’s wheel.

Something under the bed may grab your ankle

While shadowy figures pull at your hair

Fearing a little, you turn around

But nobodies there

Not even a sound...

Ashley, this one is for the books. The phrasings, the tone of the poem is frightening.
I loved this part:
"Dive into bed,
Hide under the covers
Should take some meds
And maybe recover?"

Sanity is questioned. An excellent read!

[Hanakuso]

Oh gosh, no. That wasn't meant to be an insult. *squirms uncomfortably* I'm sorry if that came out as offending. I thought that the person was taking psych meds, haha.

[marie]

Nah it's a compliment :)

[Ashley G.]

Don't worry. I didn't see it as an insult. =3
