hey walk among us

although they can’t be seen

that does not mean they are not there

they hide in our houses

in our yards

anywhere where they can watch us

they lurk from afar

entwining themselves into our lives by letting

us live in fear

fear is the warrior’s greatest weapon

they come to children

pretending to be an imaginary friend

they manipulate

they pretend

soon they take over

possess

scare

this is why we need faith.
