The figure

The figure is another one of our darker verses

The figure

You awake in the night
You reach for a drink and look around the room
To your shock is someone at the end of your bed
“Are you sleeping well?” The figure asked
You feel a cold touch on your foot
The figure has hold of your foot
You’re unsure of what to do
You’re unable to scream because of fright
The figure gets up and turns on your alarm clock
It sits back down on your bed
To the figure asks you what is your real fear
You think your dreaming
But if you were asleep you would have awoken by now
Trust me on that
This figure opens your cupboard door
It says “monster don’t hide in cupboards”
You look for your mobile
“Monsters don’t hide under the bed”
The figure says
You ask “where do they hide?”
The figure replies
“Always in the same place…. In side of us”
You blink and the figure has gone
You now can’t sleep
Well this wasn’t a bed time story
This was the truth
The figure was…. Shads’
Sleep tight

I really like this poem! It kind of strikes a real sense of fear in me. Having dealt with my own demons, I feel like I can relate here.
