Childhood fear

September 15, 2023
By Anonymous

A door shone in the darkness; odd, it’s bare.

A toy bear is shown by a dim light.

The room shakes and shatters, I feel a stare.

I hear sudden sounds, I prepare to fight.


The darkness spreads across the room, jump scare!

I fall to the floor and feel the heat fade.

I gather myself and sit in a chair.

I realize I need to call for aid.


I go outside and search for some help.

I spot a farmer on their green tractor.

I see the tractor and want to yelp.

My back hurts. I need a chiropractor.


I go to the guy and go for a ride.

Because I wanted to leave and not hide.
