Fear- A poem by: Latanya Williams

Fear

There a mad man in my room;

I can’t sleep at night;

I’m so afraid of the dark;

I can’t bear to turn off the lights;

I pray to the Lord;

Please hear my prayers;

Make this man go away quick;

Make this fool disappear;

I hear the whisper of his voice;

Deep dark tone;

A coward in the night;

Lying here all alone;

No shelter, No mom;

To keep safe from harm;

He moving close to me;

And I feel all alarm;

He’s breathing down my neck;

My sweat becomes my tears;

Devouring my past as my conscience becomes my fear;

Don’t know about tomorrow;

Lord please let me see;

That the angry person in the room; is no other, but me!
