Have We Met?

I live in your shadow,

Every shadow.

I am every horror story you've ever heard.

I am every nightmare you've ever had.

I am the monster that lives under your bed,

And in your closet.

I am the movement in the coner of your eye.

I am the flickering light that threatens to plunge you into darkness.

What am I?

I live within you.

You cannot see me, but I am there.

I am always here, waiting,

I am Fear.
