The light flicks off.
This should be fine
Its not
It’s terrible
Horrific
Evil
I’m scared
I can’t stand it
There’s something there
Waiting to kill me
Mame me
To creep
Slide
Then bite
Chew
I can’t stand it

The more I try to protect
The more vulnerable I am
Its killing me
I’m killing me
Am I the monster?
I can’t stand it

I sweat
I whimper
I feel a breeze on my neck
I holler to the night
Save me from what’s not there!
The lights back on
There’s an embrace
Consoling words
I can’t stand it

Then the lights back off
The darkness returns
The evil thing to
My parents
Left me here
There meant to
Help…
And it frightens me

I can’t stand it.
I can’t stand them.
I can’t stand me.

not all poems rhyme

The point is to show the desolation of someone forced into there phobia. A phobia is not something you can push through. The harder you push, the worse it hurts.
