How my bedroom was
My teddies stacked to the side
Watching over me with approving stares
As if knowing my next moves
My bed was a stage
For my adoring silent crowd
As I would jump to touch the sky
Springs squeaking ready for the next jump
Elation in my movements
Until
The unapproving voice echoed
Then
The thuds on the floor
Silence….
As I listened
Pure concentration
Hairs noisily erect on my neck
As still as a mouse
Awaiting to see my predator
Then
The stairs thumped
Scattering to my teddies
Hiding in their pile
Searching for safety
Two eyes peaking from a fluffy mountain
Holding my breath
Motionless
Until
The door flung open
Then
I went to my happy place
