Watching…Watching…

Watching me…

That is why I cannot leave.

Every time I try to sleep,

From the shadows creatures creep.

Empty eyes and gaping maws,

Outstretched fingers filled with claws.

And though I try to call for help,

No one sees them but myself.

They tell me it’s all in my head,

I cant escape this awful dread.

The light stays on until sunrise,

Need to escape from their eyes.

All around me, hidden spies,

I see my friends within their guise.

There is no chance of these feelings stopping,

Because I know they are always watching…
