I am the dark beneath your bed;
I am the voice inside your head;
I am the monster beyond the door;
I am the evil below the floor.

I am the danger in the bayou;
I am the fear that stands beside you;
I am the sky and I am the rain;
I am the one with hearts to stain.

I am the malice in their eyes,
I am the one you all despise.
I am the bullet in the gun;
I am the one who darkens the sun.

I am the one inside the ill;
I am created by humans’ will;
I am the reason that isn’t there.
I am a human’s lack of care.
