The Darkness

Quiet

Look around that room of yours.

Tell me, what do you see?

Is it the shadows in the corner?

Or is it the monsters at your feet?

Are these creatures friends of yours?

Or are they your enemy?

What's that hiding underneath your bed?

What's that hiding in your closet?

Do you really see them?

Or is it all in your head?

Is your mind playing tricks on you?

Or is this all reality?
