Creepy crawly critters creep
While the crawlspace creeks
And the creatures moan
A voice cries out
Another falls inward
Papers crash on the floor
I laugh, maniacally
There are voices in my head
Telling me evil things
Deadly things
Murderous things
And I know now what I HAVE TO DO
(I long thought about dropping out of school, but I could never find the courage)
But now I realize,
That it is not courage that I seek
But brute strength, to continue on
It is Halloween, and I do not fear monsters
But failure
As many of us do
Monsters aren’t scary
University is
So count down from eleven
And use your mind control powers
To convince yourself
That today is just one day,
And not the end of days
Do not be afraid of
Monsters
Because
Searching through the
Darkened library shelves
Always made me feel
More terrified
Than a vampire.
