Wild Things

Nightmare's take on reality in the mind of a child.

It’s a stark dark night - No sign of light anywhere
Staring at the ceiling, clutching on my teddy bear
Tweaking about the feeling of my closet – what’s in there
Then I hear the creaking – peeing in my underwear

The door begins to open – man I am hoping no one’s there
Hopefully just the wind or at worst a nightmare

My eyes shift from the ceiling  - through the midnight air
To the gap in the closet and then I stop and stair

As I get the urge to surge out of my bedroom
I hear a loud thump and my bed begins to move
Thinking out loud  - damn man I screwed
In a tight spot - what should I do?

Good thing I have teddy laying right with me
Ask him for a plan, he replies “ahh really”
I'm running out the door before these things kill me
Teddy bear soup is simply not fitting

Teddy hits the floor and I begin the skidding
Two steps later and teddy’s just sitting
Laying on floor and his head begins the tipping
Completely falls off and then begins the ripping

Covered in manure and apple juice when its hits me
The wild things are here and probably out to get me

This must be where the wild things are
A land so close, yet so far
Creeping while you sleeping, seeping through the bedroom cracks
A few have been there, but none have come back

Thoughts? My intent was to have the descriptions from a child's perspective.

nice, as in good :) flowed very well, one thing though the line

"To the gap in the closet and then I stop and stair"

should it be stop and stare...

very good imagary. the line " Thinking out loud - damn man I screwed" is a bit out of maturity level. but other than that is flows very nicely .

"I running out the door before these things kill me"
"Covered in manure and apple juice - its hits me"

You need to fix those two lines because the grammar isn't fitting.

Otherwise, I completely loved it. The imagery and everything, fantastic job! :D
