A less than exemplary work. Although I think that because it's subject isn't important.
When I was young and full of glee
Big bad storms tried to frighten me
They roared and they screamed
No worries though for I had teamed
With my brave little teddy.

Through dark and light that lasted the night
We would always fight
My teddy and I would huddle together
With an imaginary infinite tether
Nothing thrown at me could warrant a fright

Eleven years on I stand in the storm
Letting the rain drench me, again I am born
That toy I called friend now sits in my closet
Dark, alone and lifeless now to be honest
For to have myself a teddy is well below the norm

I stay up at night writing dark themed poetry
Because I am afraid to sleep
If only I was five again with endless continuity
I may no longer weep

I take my teddy from retirement
Alas I dare not for fear of being caught
In the eyes of many I just need refinement
The conventions of society upon me are wrought
