Innocent Fear Poem by Kayla Barker

Shadows dance along the wall,
A morbid party for one and all.

A child's fear Manifests,
In spite...
Of the dark, cold, innocent night.

Round, and round, their imagination goes.
Where it stops,
Nobody knows...

Footsteps creak along the floor,
A monster knocking at their bedroom door.
Mommy's comforting blanket wont work anymore.

Heart beat rising, and eyes closing...
A silent scream builds up within their very core.
