Hunted like an animal
Heart racing like a train
What makes me dream a dream like this
How is this even in my brain
The moon cycles like a ferris wheel
My feet never touch the ground
I’m hiding from the hunter
Like a rabbit - from a hound
The moonlit sky reveals me
Hard to hide amidst the light
The shadows have befriended me
As long as I don’t put up a fight
They gift me secrets of the dark
Tell tales few would dare believe
Keep their cards close to their chest
And aces up their sleeves
I haven’t figured out yet
How to take my chance and flee
I must wait for the daylight to break to shed these sheets and leave
No, there aren’t monsters in my closet
They don’t lurk beneath my bed
They roam around like they own the place
In the front lobes of my head
