Momma said kids are afraid of the dark
But no, not me
Am not afraid of it
Not the ghosts that I see
When the lights are off
Not the dogs Danny said bite bony legs like mine
Not even the witches I read about in our school library
Not the horned devil
No; not all of these
And what scares you either
I am only scared of one thing
Growing up
