IT

Can you see it It keeps out of reach It tries to stay out of sight But it has no control Do you know what it is? It has no heart But its brain functions Its blood is ice Are you yet aware of it? It can't stop itself from becoming What it doesn't want to be Do you understand what it is? Do you know what I'm saying? Is this registering in your brain? It has a conscience But that's gone awry It moves of its own volition But takes no responsibility for its actions It floats from one object to another It docks for a short period Then it recedes into darkness To go unseen for a short time It pops back in when it feels the need It is something that needs to be seen But it tries to hide At least from me It's in my mind All day, all night It torments me Have you ever encountered anything like it? I know you have IT is you.
