The Boogey Man

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

When I was younger
I was scared of the boogey man hiding underneath my bed
Used to run and jump into bed
Pull the covers up over my head
Pull my knees in near my chest
Just so he wouldn't creep up from the bottom 
And hurt me
I thought the covers were protection
That whenever I'd place them over my head
Nothing and no one can hurt me
Now I'm 18
And I wish like hell that I could be that little girl again
With the light blonde pigtails
And the pink pjs
Thinking that no one can hurt me
If I simply just pulled the covers over my head.
