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
