fear

i am not the thing you see, i am a monster look more carefully. to you i might look like a scroll, to him a demon stealing souls, where one sees their child die, another sees their exposed lies, beast with one thousand claws, Roy Scheider's nemesis in jaws, taking the shape your mind envisions, i may get you, but you built the prison. (I am fear and you will know me!!) (original poem by J.D.A)
