Nightmares

When you go through a paranoia stage, and you feel like the monsters will see all your biggest fears and use them against you.

"I hear their taunting voices,
whispering from the darkness.
I try my best to tune them out,
but they know all my little tricks.
I feel their eyes staring at me,
just burning at my back.
Like they're waiting for me to see them,
and embrace their "surprise attack."
They know my dark side,
the part I never share.
I try to keep myself hidden,
but they're slowly breaking through.
They must never see my face,
then they'd have full advantage.
They'd toy with my emotions,
And I'd be their favorite puppet.
