Unlikely Friends

You sit in the dark
But you’re not alone
Your fears are your friends
In this fun home

They’re keeping you company
Late late at night
Blocking your ears
And blurring your sight

They’re really protecting
From what’s truly there
The monsters with which
That home you do share

They’re shutting the windows
And locking the doors
Knowing you’ve lost
Too much to afford

Looking down on yourself
It’s funny to think
Your friends ーno your fears
Brought you to the brink
