Bright and cheerful yellow
Conceals the secrets in two that door
To the left the dark chasm I do abhor
To the right the blackness so dark as
To be purple swirling in a circle
Around unseen gnashing teeth
Retreat as a yellow canary into its cage
One more time away from the rage
Over the closet door and within was
The attic
Closed by hooks to hold in the
Manic
Th the final door opening to the
Hallway
To the safety of my brothers room
Though there was a hall light
There was still a threatening gloom
As the shadow of a man looms
