ok, sit there and stare at me
thinking that you are
the monster of my nightmares

Who? Me?
I'm afraid of nothing

myriad of jeweled eyes
those penetrating stares
those pipe-cleaner legs
ok

Who? Me? Bothered?
I'm afraid of nothing

so hide beneath my pillow
jump out thinking to scare me
and just because i start back
you dare to think i'm bothered?

Who? Me?
I'm afraid of nothing

then as i drift into peaceful sleep
cocooned in darkness i sense you
creeping through my hair
i wake and SCREAM aloud!
just instinctive reaction of course

you know me
I'm afraid of nothing
