Fear

A false sense of desperation,
Grasping for hope in the unknown.
Eyes betraying what's really seen
No safe haven to call home.

Darkness falling all around,
As a hand slowly appears.
A body decaying and rotting
Bring back old, childish fears.

A trail of blood is seen
As sudden noises are heard.
Now a door creaks open
As all else is blurred.

Inside the room fear is made.
Screams of utter shock and pain,
Alas seeing what's really there
False fear making one insane.
