I don’t like when the room goes dark,

Neither does Teddy.

Everywhere I look

I see eyes looking at me.

I cover my eyes so I don’t have to see them,

But I can still feel them.

I can still hear them.

They scare me.

I hide under my blanket,

But they still don’t go away.

When will they go away?

I scream as hard as I can so mommy can come,

But even when she turns, comes, and looks they still don’t leave.

Will they ever go away?
