In the stillness of the midnight hour,
Shadows dance and weave their power,
A chill that seeps into the bone,
Unseen, yet never alone.

The mind begins its restless flight,
Through corridors devoid of light,
Each creak and whisper amplifies,
The fears that in the silence lie.

Heartbeat echoes, loud and clear,
A rhythm driven by unseen fear,
Eyes wide open, searching through,
The darkness that obscures the view.

Yet dawn approaches, bringing light,
To chase away the fears of night,
For in the day, the shadows fade,
And courage finds its rightful place.
