so many ways to lure a mind away
some will go for candy
others for just a ride
it might be for friendship
or one last adventure
it was only going to be
around the block
ended up being forever
who is your boogeyman
running you off the road
promises of what you want to hear
will get you when he can
beware the boogeyman

As a child it was drummed into to me to never accept sweets off or talk to a stranger. There was no boogeymen feel to it, instead we were told that some people were not very nice.
The world seems scarier now as are your words. So well done.

I was told to never take candy or a ride from strangers. Nowadays the danger could be someone you know or even yourself.

Sadly it seems that way.
