Title: "IT vs. MIND"

I can't put my finger on what it truly is.

It's what makes me run from the night.

It's what makes me hide.

It's what makes me suffer

always from the inside.

 

It's what my nightmares

are.

And why I forget my

dreams.

It sometimes overwhelms you

or maybe

HIM.

 

It is not seen

But is always there.

It doesn't care about

Money

or a stylish flair.

It only wants your mind.

 

For if our minds do

Not see

IT

then it cannot see us.
