I'M SCARED

I'm scared

I'm scared,

From the frame on my wall that glitters

From the call in my log that flickers

From the midnight clock that chitters

From the creeky window that snickers

I'm scared,

From the bottom lip that quivers

From the gushing tear that slithers

From the undesired truth that bitters

From the empty sea that shimmers
