The Thing in the Dark

I am fleeting.

I am the night. 

I am what fills you with fright.

I am what keeps you awake.

I am always here.


You see glimpses of me throughout the day. 

In the shadows when the sun is flying high.

I am always here.


I am what creeps into your thoughts when you are alone. 

I am the known and the unknown.

You never can expect when I show.

You can always try to hide. 

But nothing will keep me from your mind.

I am always here.

How often did they think that I was slowly on the brink? The corners of the room are dark and it’s closing in. Soon I will be taken. Where is everyone?
