Haunted By Reality

Specters of the night, Come in the shadows to creep Across my walls, hovering In empty black air; How they terrorize my nights; Expanding, contracting spooks… Shape shifting ghouls who, Contort as if they appear, In wavy fun house mirrors. I must put a stop, To their vile and twisted dance; I must avoid watching news!

I was thinking bogey men, evil spirits, the ending was a complete surprise but it should not have been. I gave up the news over thirty years ago. It helps keep me up in good ways rather than up because I am too afraid to close my eyes.
