Wake up said a voice, did I feel a hand,,
I live all alone so dont understand,
I open my eyes, heart gripped with fear,
I squint in the dark,as a figure floats near,
heart starts to pound, body goes numb,
I try to scream out, but no sound will come,

I try in the dark to adjust my eyes,
I then realize that im paralized,
I lay in my bed, my mouth feels so dry,
I manage to let out, a small muffled cry,
I slide out the bed and slump to the floor,
terrified stare at the thing near the door,

I get to my feet and run to the light,
I lash out at the spectre with all ofl my might,
It jumps at me wraps round my head,
I stumble back and fall on my bed,
I fight back screaming, and then start to frown,
im having a fight, with my dressing gown,
what a relief, never no more,
will I hang that.. on the bedroom door..

*giggles* Wonderful.

I love this, it seems so...worrying, at the start, and then it's just really funny. Very good. I like how you've made it seem like that. I can really tell what you were feeling.

Anyway, good use of launguage and rhyme. I like how you wrote this.

Nice write,
*hugs*
