In the corner,
where queries etch away before exiting your mind.
Where gremlins bloom like daffodils in spring.
Where sanity erodes,and irrationality seeps in.
In the corner where anxiety thrashes violently against acquainting walls,like the aggravated sea.
And you seek safety in the hollow halls.
In the corner nightmares live.

I have a fear of the dark,and shadows,and so this inspired the poem.
