Do I just blame it on ***? Why I'm feeling all this stress Why these tears stain my eyes Why I lay on my bed and cry Or is it something more Something deep down within my core Something following me in my life Causing me all this strife Is the anxiety for nothing? The things inside the dark of my room Making me feel gloom and doom Whispering in my ear "Just come with us, dear." Listen to them, I will not With them, I will not rot Seeing death night by night Can give someone an awful fright Should I remain in fear of these apparitions? Or should I ignore the superstitions? Are they only in my head? Just monsters under my bed? Imagination of a young child Temperament meek and mild Shadows becoming figures in my head The tears begin to shed Fear faces me in every room Please tell me I'll be leaving soon.
