Reality

Creeping, crawling, slithering, lurking in the dark
Waiting, watching, listening for a chance to leave its mark
Feeding on your soul and consuming everything you are
Laughing as you try to escape but never get too far
Devouring and replacing hope with torment
Ripping and tearing you apart creating a violent convent
Controlling and taking over every tortured being
Leaving behind nothing in life even worth believing
The powerful creature that is waiting to be set free
Destroying and kiling people just like you and me
Take it or leave it knowing that it is there
Waiting for you to unlock the bars that hold it if you dare
