Description A skewed perspective
What do I see?
Life in chaos
A terror building inside of me

Sleep is elusive
Tired watchful eyes fret
What do I perceive in the darkness?
A growing unnamed threat

Goosebumps raised on skin
Hair standing on end
Every shadow hides
The monster around the bend

Being subjected daily
to this fear factory
'Til I snap and I stalk the streets
Killing all I see

I like the short stubby feeling of your poem. It creates a sort of... unease (is that a word...no, right?).

Sure it is. The overal strcuture, apart from the rhyme, is similar to Cold Silence.

Its good, but theres something about the last stanza im not too happy about, im not sure what exactly, seeing as its a spoken word it may be the rythm or timing, ill tell you if i figure it out
