Looking beyond the dark,

Past the monsters that you see,

Past the blood of your nightmares,

And the darkness of your dreams.

I see nothing

For you to cry over

For you to be ashamed of

For you to keep your head down.

The jump scares?

They only last for a minute.

The waiting, maybe an hour

The horror several minutes.

Yes, you see me

Smiling sitting as it screams at me.

Why should I be scared of it?

It would run if it saw my mind.
