Is someone watching?

Indeed, I had heard footsteps.

Was it a gallop.

that led me into night's depths?

No, I am dreaming.

These things just can't be so.

Deeper, yes, deeper,

Into my rest I go.

But wait! There's more!

I thrash as I sleep,

Somebody is watching!

I think I heard a peep!

Stop, silly girl!

Nightmares can't come true!

But, don't open your eyes,

For someone is watching you.

Stop! I won't be fooled, by mirages of the mind!

If there is a monster here,

they're probably really kind.

Gasp! Maybe a troll has long been hiding under my bed,

Now it's right above my face!

I'm acting like a child,

Oh, I'm such a disgrace.

I hide under my covers,

An act far too overdue.

I'm crying when I hear it.

"Little girl, we're watching you".

I'm Watching You
