Analogy of night

It's like telling me,
That sound of scratching on my window
In the middle of the night,
Was probably just a tree in the wind.
But I live in a meadow,
No trees in sight.
Even if you were right,
And I was wrong,
Why have I been afraid for so long?
Why do I lay here day after day,
And you tell me -
"just make it go away."
Why can't I then,
If it's so easy to wish it away,
That in the end
I'm still here, afraid,
Day after day?
