Verity

In the corner of the room, a yellow orb glows bright, Face painted with a smile, but it hides from the light, Tension brewing, shadows loom, creeping up the wall, Watch it morph, a twisted form, now it doesn't seem small. Eyes bulging, teeth gnashing, grinning wide with intent, Once a friend, now a fiend, a monster heaven-sent, Whispers in the dark, echoing through the night, Familiar laughter turns to screams, a chilling fright. Bounce back like a rubber band, defying all the laws, Gravity's a joke when fear's pulling at your flaws, From playful to predatory, a switch flips in the mind, What was once a simple toy now leaves no peace to find. Heart racing, pulse quickens, as it lunges for the prey, A game of cat and mouse, but the mouse is here to stay, Yellow ball with a face, now a demon in disguise, Tension thick as smoke, can't escape these haunted skies.
