i sleep on the floor

    i sleep on the floor
    i sleep on the floor
    cause the bed scares me
    its high and warm
    there is no hard cement to hold me
    there are pillows and blankets
    my cardboard is missing

    i sleep on the floor
    cause the bed scares me
    people crawl in to grab and poke me
    there are screams and cries
    there is no breeze to comfort me

    i sleep on the floor
    cause the bed scares me

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
