"Alone" child's perspective Steemit Slam

I don't like being by myself
so I can't stay in bed
my teddy bear is up on the shelf
I'm alone here resting my head

So when I get up and come out to see
What's going on in the kitchen
Please dong scold or ridicule me
I really just want to listen

Are you saying things that I shouldn't hear?
I really just don't understand
But I'll tell you that I don't have any fears
When I'm here holing your hand

So just one more story and I'll fall asleep
And then you and dad can have time
But tell me the one about counting sheep
And please make sure that it rhymes
