I defeated it, or that is what I thought
For lies are my weapon when the shadows approached
Believing I was the victor of the war I fought
But the truth is I succumb to nightmares and got caught
Afraid, I built a fortress to hide
Convincing myself that it could protect me from tides
But to no avail. I ended up getting tied
Because the darkness does not need to creep for it is already leeching inside.
