A creature in the darkness
Has deep purple eyes.
A mixture of an angry red,
And a morose blue.
And its pupils couldn't resemble
Anything but two cold, empty wells.
This creature is known as reality
To all who dare to dream.
All who gaze into its hypnotic eyes
Are left with tear-streaked faces,
Because the creature is the horror of reality,
And the truth knows only pain.
