Run up the stairs little girl,
It only makes the game better.
Run away little boy,
I will only laugh harder.
Run through the darkness,
I will still keep up.
Convince yourself it was only a dream,
I am still here.
I am still in the shadows.
I am still under your bed.
I am still in your nightmares.
So please,
Run.
It only makes the game better.

The author's comments:
I am scared of a lot of things and one is the dark. This poem is kind of inspired by that fear.
