Moon

I wrote this a few years ago, but I like it

The man in the moon is everyone's friend
But when I see him an icy hand of dread and fear clutches my heart
I stare at the moon
Waiting
Waiting to change into the creature
Every time I see the smiling face
Staring down at me
It appears to be more of a grimace
For he is the only one who knows my terrible secret
But he'll never tell
He just smiles down at the rest of the world
All the others curled up in their beds
Safe
And I only wish
That for one night
I could look into his smiling face
And lay down to sleep and know I was safe
