The Enemy

 We are the silence,

We thrive in the cold.

We are the standard,

You must uphold.

We live in the shadows,

We watch your every move,

We are the parasite

You cannot remove.

Some think we don’t exist,

Others believe we rule the night,

But we are something,

Much more than fright.

We feed on your flaws,

We own your humanity,

But most of all,

We are the reason for insanity.

Every choice you choose,

Every chance you take,

Will never be more,

Than a beautiful mistake.

We take many forms,

But our goal is the same.

Cry your tears and wrack your brain,

Do you remember now our name?
