Fear Poem by Autumn Hanna

I am the seething darkness crouched at the foot of your bed,
The grimmest of things thought up inside your head.

I am the thing that lurks at the end of every hall,
My chance to strike at your defenses will come when darkness falls.

I know your strengths and every weakness too,
I'll turn every last one of them against you.

I love morphing them and bending them to my will,
Such is the way I cripple and kill.

I'll make you break and bring you to your knees,
No creature on this earth can escape me.

You'll feel my icy grip whether I'm far or near,
I'm the sadists favorite tool, I am Fear.
