Analysis of The author, The Actor



In only the fear,
the darkness I made.
The monsters I bound,
the horrors I laid.

The things I create,
I did it through rage.
So I damned all the demons,
I bound to this page.

As I wrote all the words,
more demons appeared.
As I fear all my fears,
will never be cleared.
