shadows with no blocked out light
even in the darkest night
i wonder what is lurking there
while i cower, pale with fear
i never dare to go close
just in case it is a ghost
or worse, nothing but a figment
just my brain projecting pigment
i'd sooner hope my house was cursed
if i was wrong that would be worse
ghouls and demons i'd rather find
than find out I'm out of my mind
