A world without darkness,
only of light.
A monster that hides
just out of sight.
It hunts out your fear
of living a lie.
It buIrns out your heart
and leaves you to die.
I've seen this monster,
It lives in us all.
It's the envy inside
that leads us to fall.

This was inspired by Moriarty from the BBC Sherlock. I found him a really interesting and frightening character. When I thought hard about him, I found that he's really similar to a lot of people inmy life (on a much smaller scale of course). His need for attention and drama as well as his fascination and jealousy for the man in the deerstalker. He's really jst an overexaggerated version of feelings every human being goes through. The thing that defines us is how we use those emotions. I tried to represent that in the poem.
