Shadows on the ceiling
Shadows on the wall
Shadows creep around you
In the deepest dark.
And in the deep darkness
You feel their scaly hands
As they touch your body
Everywhere.
So you open your eyes
And turn on a bright light
Only to see that the shadows
Are still there.
Shadows in the closet
Shadows under the bed
Shadows everywhere
In the glare of the light.
You cannot escape them
No matter how hard you try
So cover yourself in blankets
And pretend that they’re not here.
