I lay alone on my bed, as the sun start to set
And I shiver, and chatter because of the winter breeze
Darkness approaches, and unknown noises fill the room
As I quickly hide and cover
I cover my head, with a thick warm blanket
This is where I'm safe, I say
This is my escape
What seems like hours of my hiding
And staying locked in my own worries
The blankets start to come off
And I no longer seem too worried
My feet hit the floor
And I grab the smallest of them all
Pink and fuzzy, I clutch it in my fist
Walking towards the kitchen
I hold it even tighter
This is why I am safe, I say
This is my escape

I like how you portrayed the word I gave you ;] It was very inspiring to read this, and you did a great job conveying the prompt. Very well put together and structured wonderfully, might I add
