If I could choose

what character I would want to be

from my favorite, movie, book ( or song )

I would want to be the shadow on the wall

the monster under the bed

the thing in the closet

the bones stashed in a trunk, sealed with chain and barbed wire, hidden in the attic

I would want to be the corpse in the basement, buried under stale and sour earth.

If I could choose

what character I would want to be

from my favorite, movie, book ( or song )

I would want to be that thing that makes your skin crawl.
