Scared stiff!

Shadows creeping up the wall,
Curling into a big ball.
Araid and scream, but there's no sound,
Rooted to the hallway ground.
Emptiness and frozen fear,
Door goes BANG, what did i hear?

Sick inside with butterflies,
Terrified of squalking magpies.
Inside, i'm nervous and i quiver,
Freaky nervous kind of shiver.
Fear is frightening and...horrifying!
