Almost like there’s a boogey man,
standing in the corner,
staring at her,
just waiting for her to awake,
and scream at its pleasure.
And she, a young girl,
sleeping so peacefully ,
unknowing of what’s to come.
She begins to shiver,
she feels something she knows is scary,
her body goes numb,
as she is paralyzed with fear.
She doesn’t know what it is,
in her corner.
The child gets enough courage to
sit up and say “I am precious, I am young,
yet independent, you no longer scare me,
leave my house, leave my life, like usual dad,
just leave me here to wonder again”
Then she awoke,
to realize it was a dream, or more like a nightmare,
For she knew her father or boogey man as she called him,
would never come back. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 240 [topic] => 48 [informant] => karmen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 1 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

I liked the title,
and the poem does it justice.

I think I like it.

Well...this poem is really good. I liked how you made the father the boogie man. This poem kinda hits home for me. I have dreams like that. Of being numb and wanting to scream to the thing that is making me that way. But i never can. I always am silent. Ah anywho...nice meaningful poem
