As the Creepiness Follows

Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)



In the nightfall there was a girl,
She wanted nothing for safety.
One day she wanted the world,
Then she realized it's imaginary.

Once she was out in a dark storm,
She knew as the dark was all fears.
As the creepiness follows unwarned.
Just she feared that she'll be scared.

Just as the wind blew, she will jump,
Looking for another way out of there.
Creepiness followed all the way home,
Jumping as she wanted daddy dearly.

Following her the way home scarcely,
She prayed to God, her only true friend.
Couldn't wait to get home for her safety,
She knew if she didn't, she will be dead.
