When I Wake Up In The Middle Of The Night

My eyes flutter open and I am scared to see. Everything that once was simple has turned into a beast!
 Ghosts are on the walls and mysterious people lurk in the shadows. 
It feels like a dream
. I pinch myself to make sure I am awake. 
I put my foot on the ground, that was a big mistake
. I felt something furry curl around my feet.
 “I might not survive,” 
I think in this dark cave of grief. 
“How will I ever go back to sleep?” 
I hide under the covers scared of what might come next
. And that’s when I heard what might be the end
. The door jumps out of the way of whoever entered 
I thought it might be my worst nightmare. The dentist.
 Instead, a hushed voice whispers in my ear,
 “Go to sleep you have nothing to fear.” 
And with that my fears were lifted, I drifted off to sleep. 
I slept and slept until I woke up and that’s when the beast had gone, the ghosts didn’t live to see the day! 
The mysterious people were gone, I was OK!
 But I couldn’t help but wonder if they would all come back the next day.
