Just past the doorway...
world is screaming
throwing things around
breaking our windows
scratching at doors
burning down dreams
stealing the past
threatening to sue
spitting its venom
clawing in dirt
stalking the dark
howling to come out
coughing in our face
tossing spite about
pounding its chest
bearing its teeth
spinning many lies
shouting at children
scolding our smiles
denying the young
ignoring the old
scalding one’s skin
loving their crimes
faking the future
disrupting our sleep
breaking our hearts
killing us slowly...
Really why we stay inside
