    The Boogeyman is to You

    “The Boogeyman is to You”
    By: Light Dynasty

    When I think of the boogeyman, I often think of you
    Not for the fact that you scare me
    But for the fact that you do not exist, just like he doesn’t
    At a time when I was young and foolish
    The night often showed scary shadows on the wall
    Secretly tapped upon my window
    Screeched the pure sounds of evil in the night
    And just as every child has heard of the boogeyman
    We have often blamed him for stalking us
    But unlike every other child’s father
    You did not come to my rescue

    But the light did, just as I grew the light grew
    The light is short for Enlightenment
    The light taught me that headlights against trees
    Equals the weird shadows on my walls
    The light taught me that wind blowing on trees
    Made the scary tapping sounds on my window
    The light taught me that there are things
    That do howl in the night, but not for me, but the moon
    While I grew the light seemed to come from me
    So when the scary nights came I ran to their rescue
    Your sons and daughters need a man

    To chase away the boogeyman, at fourteen I did
    I chased him out of our house; I chased him out of our lives
    And I showed my siblings the light
    The light does not only show logic
    But it also shows Truth… the truth about you
    The truth is you weren’t there when the boogeyman was here
    And you probably won’t be here now that he’s gone
    Just as his existence has left our memories,
    So has your existence, But it’s funny
    We remember him more than you, but he is jealous of you
    Because for you to exist, all you have to do is come back home

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