The spot on the wall

From the rain that did fall

There came a stain on the wall

A dark spot buried in the board

That struck a deep emotional chord

 

A vacilating countenance, in wood, you could see

Caused by a change in humidity

A face, that would predict the happenings of the day

One fallen from grace, some would say

 

A simple darkening in the grain

Which would predict joy or pain

When with a frown it was clad

What would follow was always sad

 

When the visage appeared enraged

That day, all hell would be engaged

When a smile it displays

It would foretell of better days

 

From one\'s own mind it did declare

Whether happieness or despair

Like a Rorschach card it would project

One\'s soul, that one tries to protect

 

With brushes and soap we tried to erase

The vestiges of this Mephistophelian face

But with each intrepid try

Darker would become the demonic dye

 

When to the spot people grew near

From its look they would turn in fear

Because of people\'s dire dread

The blemish was hidden behind a bed

 

Still, the curious would steal a glance

That their future they could see, perchance

But in pursuing this Cassandran romance

With their own ghost they would dance

 

Watching a movie that you know the end

Knowing things from which you can not defend

Of all, the worst terror comes from inside

Like the spot, our fears, we can not, but try to hide
