As I awoke from a fitful sleep
A sudden anxiety befell me
The frigid recesses of my room beckoned and mocked me
In voices straight from my nightmares before
I was stricken by a cold sweat
And their voices, echoing in my mind
Seemed to scream their harsh words with a rigid hatred
And I was afraid
My eyes darting around the room
And my attention flickering between the swift shadows
But as soon as it had enveloped me
It seemed to retreat
I sat alone, with nothing, no one there but my own thoughts
And so I looked, inside my own heart
I looked, into the recesses of what makes me human
I looked, and I saw the same darkness that surrounds me
And my room became a little warmer
