THE BOGEYMAN

You hide deep inside your mind
lost to the world
The night crawls across your bed
Time stalls
With every blink, your mind rattles
fear oozes into your soul
and drips from your eyes.
You stare at the blackness
and listen to the hum of silence
deep within the walls.
Your spirit twists into a knot of tattered rags
Isolation and rage lull you into a restless sleep
And every time you wake
your mind  rattles
Still ...
you try to face the light
but a voice echoes deep inside
and you know
the bogeyman is real.
