Analysis of Bogeymen
I used to think
That
Bogeymen
Were
Phantom's of the night
Creeping
Through the shadows
Of
Evening's fading light
In
A childs
Imagination
They're not so hard
To find
With scary tales
And
Stories told
Embedded in the mind
But in
Life's true reality
That's
What they are
It seems
Figments of our wondrous minds
And
Creature's of our dreams.
