The jolting of your heart as you awaken and all is dark
The fear rushing through you as darkness surrounds you
The realization that there is no one around
Just you and darkness

You rush around, knocking into furniture and doors
Your racing heartbeat the only sound you hear
Anxiety as your fear overwhelms you

You sit on the bed as your mind imagines the worst
Demons under the bed, ghost watching you
You hear the tick tick of the clock, and your heart eases
You calm down because you know its only a matter of time
Before the sun comes up
