Fears

What are you afraid of?

Spiders?

Heights?

Open spaces?

Fear of the number 13?

Never finding love?

Alone forever?

The dark?

What if that fear of yours was slowly meandering its way up your stairs to your room?

What if you turn around and that thing that makes your skin crawl, the hair on the back or your neck stand up and your stomach to drop is right there?

If that fear reaches around the door of your room or through your closet or perhaps from underneath your bed, it touches those few fingers that are just over the edge of your bed.

All they do is touch you with its spidery legs or that thing your afraid will come out from your bed grabs those digits that are off your bed and numbs them.

Just as you wake up enough to feel as though you've been watched you see the things in your room. Not only your room but standing over your sleeping body. Or sitting next you on that comfy bed of yours as it touches you.

It's eyes and shadowy staring at your form as your frozen in whole, unable to scream out.

Are you able to keep your fear down when that thing you absolutely fear grips you tight before you fall asleep or wake in the night unable to breathe?
