"I'm the only fruitloop in a box of of cheerios."


Deep in the night,
when your parents are fast asleep
I will approach away from light
I will crawl, I will creep.

I'll seep from the shadows,
I'll take you in your slumber,
I'm scarier than black widows,
666 is just a number.

Your fear is very strong
and you can beg and you can plead,
but this won't take long
one minute is all i need.

So lets make this easy
off in the darkness we go,
now come along peacefully
and no one will have to know.

I like this poem... it's kind of funny in an odd way. Don't worry, when I was little I was terrified of the boogieman, too! First horror movie I watched, not my best choice :) Check out my poem sometime?
