Corner of My Eye

March 11, 2019

In my dark window, all I can see

Is my shadow staring back at me

I look past in the street below

They're out there, don't you know?

Monsters crawling around from the depths below

The unknown grips my very being

Only God knows what I may be seeing

In my head, the eyes misleading

Shadows in the corner of my vision

I shut my eyes, heeding intuition

They're not real, I know they're not

Or am I just too young and have forgot?

Are the demons real?

No, that mindset has no appeal

I feel my fears begin to reel

The chains that bound me are no more

As I walk through my open door

Into the hallway, I have no fright

I bask in the night's delight

Knowing that there is no reason

To be scared of the night.
