What does one do when trapped in a closet at night

When everyone has gone to bed

And your screams go unheard

When your body slams get weaker and weaker

When you slowly start to lose hope

What does one do when left in a room

After lights out

When everyone tells you to quiet down

When your ears start to listen to every eerie sound

When your eyes betray you

When your senses are at an all time high

What does one do when abandoned by their loved ones

When everything you lived for is gone

When everything you worked so hard on evaporates

Some give up

Others remain

I wish to know the secrets to all of theses things

So that when I was 6 I wouldn’t be afraid of small rooms anymore

So that when I was 10 I wouldn’t be scared of the shadows in my room

So that when I get left again I know what to do

I wanna be all knowing

I want to be omniscient
