Humongous, black, and hairy,
it really is quite scary.
The crawlyness and emptiness,
has got me feeling wary.
Of all the battles I have fought,
battles won and battles lost,
this creature, I cannot defeat,
my fear is utterly complete.
It snaps it's pincers and attacks,
but I don't move, I just stare back.
Before I know it, I am dead,
slaughtered by fear, murdered by dread.
