...

Decided to make up this, about...something. You'll see anyway.

It is out oldest enemy.
Our basest instinct.
Our worst nightmare.
It attacks you when you're at your weakest,
And even when you're at your strongest.
It holds no grudges,
Harbours no resentment,
But strikes swiftly.
We can be defenceless to it,
Conquered by it,
Or we can face and defeat it.
It can leave us crying,
Or freeze us where we stand.
It can be the strongest thing we know,
Or the thing we learn to hide best.
It is the thing that makes you check under the bed.
The thing that makes you leave the light on.
It is the reason why you always look over your shoulder,
Or why you checking out of the corner of your eye.
The reason why you start to walk quicker sometimes.
It makes your heart stop and your stomach drop.
It is within us all.
It is....

Fear.

I love to write - though I rarely finish the story, constantly skipping to a different one half way through. Hopefully one day I'll make a story good enough to finish = )

The Marks On The Wall

A slight ticking From the clock in the back A horrid silence It sounds to thick I walk along the floor Barefoot in the midst Is something greater. That I have yet to miss.

In My Coffin Of Darkness...

In my coffin of darkness I placed. A castle where the rich lay to rest. The fear that comes from a school test. Fangs as deadly as a sharpened knife. The pain that comes from a slave’s strife.

Tick Tock

Times dripping. the drill is in my head. Closed eyes darkness leading winding to dread. Hearts bearing showing through. Like a glass cutlet all the way through. Glow how your eyes grow.

Black, White And Red.

Black. White. Red. Colours of a joke he recalled, but now there was no laughter, only his own screams as he ran, ran forever through the Hell he'd fallen into. No way out, no way back.

Visionary Heads

It came to rest in the corner of my room, concealing its face under the cover of a cool twilight.

Shadows

Shadows surrounding me So much so that I can't see Dark places that bring nightmares I can't make a sound… I just stare. I walk faster. I've got to run. I want to see the light of the sun.

I Am The Darkness

Cracks of moonlight illuminating bruised skin and flesh so polluted it's cast in hues of purple and grey. In the nighttime there's not a whisper. Only silence fills this house.

I Am

By Gemma Doyle. I am what scares you in your dreams. I know your greatest fears. I live in part of you and in part of other people. I can make your heart pound and make you faint with fright.
