When I’m Alone

You all think I'm crazy don't you?

That I'm just a bum with too much time on my hands

I've seen things that would shake even the bravest

Things that would destroy faith in the most devout

It only happens when you're not here

Voices telling me unspeakable horrors

Figures appearing and vanishing in an instant

Monsters crawling out from the dark corners

Their pain, anger, hatred, and despair seeps out of the cracks in these concrete walls

They speak to you everyday, but you are too deaf to hear them

They're right under your nose, but you are too blind to see them

I can feel the terror building up inside of me, but I am too dumb to scream
