Do you know who I am? Do you think that my soul is calm as you say?  A tame mare you can bridle.  A sight for eyes that searched too long?  Another pretty face, to recall at the late hours of the night?

No.  I am no princess from your fairy tales.  I am no damsel in your accursed, grey, towers.

No.  I am nothing like it.

I am the chill down your spine, colder than the winter months.  I am the monster under your bed, naught but pale bones and empty eyes.  I am the ghost that haunts you, dead and hungry for more death.  I am all the things you hide from.  I am something to fear.  Something to hate.

I am the force behind the dark that keeps you awake.  The one that keeps you still as you pray to god that it passes and doesn’t see you.  The next time you call me beautiful think of every shadow that has touched you in your dreams.

Run from me, boy.  Forget you ever saw me.  Lie down and hate the day you heard my name.

I am no calmer than the height of the storm.  The raging winds have a gentle touch compared to me.  I am no less fierce than the strike of lightening.  The two edged sword is more merciful than I.  Should it pierce you before I find you, consider yourself blessed.

You know nothing of me.  Leave my sight and read your tales, boy.  You’ll find no rest here.
I am every knife in your back, bitter as the feeling of betrayal.


I wrote this a couple of nights ago. I was kinda angry and frustrated when I wrote it. It's safe to say I can have an ego occasionally.
This will go down when I set up my other account and then I might put it there as well. Tell me what you think.
