Sometimes

I am bleached white bones

and empty eye sockets,

the color of a blank computer screen.

.

And sometimes

I rule the place of wheelbarrow red fire.

I am a black-cloaked entity,

a scythe-wielding monster to some,

a capitalized name, but

.

I also do not exist.

You see me out of the corners of your eyes

But when you turn your head

I am gone.

.

They cower before me,

begging for me to stay away

from them and their loved ones,

and there are a precious few

who don't care when I arrive,

as long as they get to say goodbye.

.

But what they do not know

is that I am nothing more

than a lazy teenager crashing

on my mother's couch

.

and that I am afraid of the dark.

It's talking about Death, in case you didn't know. It's an original work, too, but I couldn't find an original works thing in the fandom list, like on AO3. If you have a better title, please do tell. I needed a title to print it at school and I had less than a minute, and this happened. (The annoying periods are there because the spaces won't stay with nothing there, so.) The last two stanzas were kind of a joke between the girl who sits behind me and I, so yeah. :D (Also, constructive criticism is encouraged!)
