"we are the monsters under your bed, we are the ones your mother warns you about when she kisses your forehead and puts you to sleep, we are the nightmares that keep you up late at night, wishing for somehow, somewhere, there to be light, we are the ones who they whisper about, the voices, we are your worst fears, the ones that send chills deep down your spine, the ones that leave your bones tingling with fright,we are those eyes you feel staring, piercing into the back of your head from the deepest, darkest corners of your room as you lay there,fear eating at your insides,paralyzed, we are the shadows that that engulf you, the ones that you know are always there for you"- Shadows 2016
