Boo
Through thin, paper walls
I hear the creaks and crawls
of unknown, bizarre entities

At nighttime I weep,
for I can't get to sleep
with the screams always here, endlessly

All the taps and the clicks,
with the tocks and the ticks
always echoing throughout my brain

The long, endless nights
in the strong, sleepless frights
are driving me mad and insane

And then at night, you see,
they simply torment me
while scraping inside of my mind

Their black fingernails
carving in deep details,
leaving them far too simple to find

The howls and the cries,
whispers, calls, and goodbyes
always leave me so frightened and pale

I can't help but be scared
when I'm so unprepared
listening to the ghosts scream and wail

I've taped open my eyes
so I'll reach no surprise,
I've gone mad now because I can't blink

These voices in my home
echo throughout my bones
and leave me here unable to think

When I turn out the lights
I'm attacked with these sights
of plasma floating in the air

Not a white draping sheet,
with no legs, arms, or feet,
just a ghost there to give me a **scare
