Childhood Dreams

Hiding in the closet
My little girl self
Waiting for it to be safe again
Afraid

Door locked
But that didn’t keep it out
It only kept me in
Trapped

Pounding steps on the hardwood floor
Far away then getting close
It knows I am here
Alone

The doorknob turns
Slowly as if to let the terror I feel build
I know closing my eyes will do no good
It won’t go away
Darkness

Walking towards the door that hides me
It stands in front
Knowing I am watching through the crack
Unable to breathe for fear of being found
Paralyzed

But I have already been found
The wicked smile on its face tells me so
I was never really hidden
It knew where I was all along
Foolish

This is no childhood dream
Only a nightmare
Hiding in the closet
With it standing right in front of me
Waiting
