Nightmares show up
To scare you.
They pop up
To frighten you.
But no matter
How scary.
It doesn’t matter
How hairy.
There is nothing
To be afraid of.
There is always something
Even more frightening.
It could be under your bed,
Or in your closet.
It could be a bully named Ted,
But don’t worry, they aren’t the worst.
Nightmares show up
To scare you.
They pop up
To frighten you.
There are worse things
Than bullies and monsters.
You could witness a horrible thing
Then I would pick the monster.
Monsters aren’t usually
Scary.
They aren’t usually
Very hairy.
They could be kind
Towards you.
But they aren’t all so kind
To you.
Nightmares show up
To scare you.
They pop up
To frighten you.
