Panic

In the dark. What might be; lurking, hiding waiting. In the dark. There's something, waiting to be taking. In the dark. Right there! In the dark. What? Where? In the shadows somethings breathing. In the shadows think I'm seeing. In the shadows right here! In the shadows it's near! In the darkness of the night, something's waiting just for me. In the darkness of the night, awaiting patiently. In the darkness of the night, it thrives! In the darkness of the night, taking lives! Something's out there trying to get me. Something's out there it won't let me. Something's out there while I'm walking. Something's out there and it's stalking! In where I can't see's where it sees me. Where I can't see's where it might be. What I can't see sees me plainly. What I can't see's coming for me. No where to run. No where to hide. No where to go. Can't get inside! There's no escape. Can't get away. What can I do when no where's safe? And so I freeze.
