Scaredy Cat
I stand frightened in the dark
Leaves rustling inside the park
The feeling of eerie daunting me
Beyond my hands I cannot see
A noise whimpers as I walk
I try to scream but I cannot talk
I start to run but trip and fall
Look up an at an elm standing tall
The cries continue to speak
I can’t answer I’m so weak
I get up and turn around
Manage to run away from the Sound
I reach the end by the gate
Sweaty and tired, I wander my fate
Open the door I yell finally free
It’s sneaks by me for it was just a cat in a tree
