Nightmare

Evil. 
For what is this substance that consumes our soul? 
That slowly eats away our existence as if it were a delicious daily meal. 
Could it be of one's frantic imagination? 
Or possibly is it real? 
A lingering mystery, us creatures ponder upon. 
That triggers our deep emotions. 
That sparks a fuse in our minds. 
That puts a poison in the blood that runs through our veins. 
Our vision is blinded to the unknown yet it discovers a way somehow to make us obey. 
Power is the answer to its lasting reign.
