Creep from a morbidly enchanted Shadow

It stalks me as I sleep.

It waits for me by day.

It feeds on my agony and immaculate horror.

I am not safe where I stay.

 

Hiding under my bedroom carpet,

in the closet, beneath the bed,

Anywhere it can drive me crazy, but,

No matter what, it'll not get in my head.

 

When I gaze into it, it's horrible eyes

Pierce my flesh down to the soul.

My skin wrinkles and curdles with cold,

My insides burn like coal.

 

I can't live with this thing much longer,

It'll destroy my sanity.

I can't live with the thing much longer,

The thing I'm ashamed to call me.

Afterword:I am not some emo kid, and this is not some emo poem. Let this affect you how it shall, and do with it what you will.
