What Keeps Me Awake At Night?

What keeps me awake at night?

A myriad of things that never see the light

They could be dark, they could be bright

These keep me awake at night-

Is that a stalker standing by my bed?

I'd better not dangle my feet over the edge

In case a wizard is hiding there under

One hand on my foot and WHOOSH, I'm gone

Close the blinds tight

Don't let in any light

Just in case I see a scary face

Then the glint of a silver knife

Wrap myself up in thin and thick blankets

Hold myself in a comforting grip

Try not to think about things

Or else to Hell or Heaven I'll take a trip

Will I spontaneously combust?

Right here, right now?

Or will I have the chance

To say goodbye, to take a bow?

I take out my hidden PC

Go on writing, reading sprees

A bit of love, a bit of lust

There my fears are forgotten and just

What keeps me awake at night?

A myriad of things that never see the light

They could be dark, they could be bright

These keep me awake at night.
