night time scaries,
make
your brain run and run
run
till everything
and everything is spent.
night time scaries
keep me up.
beg me to
put the the cold
steel of a razor to my skin,
or they make me
write, erase, delete then space
out poems like this.
i could turn my mind off
make the scaries go away.
for now,
they are here to stay.
