I dunno but I feel compelled to share this poem I wrote… it woke me up in the middle of the night after pulling an all nighter to write it…

_ **Untitled** _  
Nameless fears in the dark  
Shadowy figures  
Pounding heart  
Disturbed dreams  
Waking  
Scared of something  
Unknown  
That tugs at your sleepy senses  
Made sharp by fear  
Sleepy no longer  
The sun tinged sky  
Your only protection  
From what haunts  
Your dreamless slumber  
Unnameable  
Unknowable things  
Driving you up  
Away from your bed  
To breathe in dew drenched air  
And calm yourself  
Scared of nothing  
But still it remains  
There to tease you  
And scare you  
When it pleases  
That which you cannot find

Wow Topaz, sounds like something out of a Dean Koontz novel…

To me it sounds like a Table of Contents for Satan’s How To Book!
