True fear

Crying of fear
In the dark
Hurry and run
Says my heart.
But I lie there
Too scared to scream
Praying so hard
That it's just a dream.
I want to get up
And find a place to hide.
I gather up the courage
And yell, Please help me!
A bunch of questions
Everyone did ask
I don't know the answers
It happened so fast.
Feeling a little more brave
Not wanting to show fear
I act big and bad
I want to say,
Who's sleeping with me tonight?
