Demon in Hiding

I lurk in the shadows,

To stay out of sight,

And no one can see me,

Because I can't be seen.

I hide out of habit,

And I don't want to be heard,

So I step softly,

And not make a sound.

I am a demon,

A creature of the night,

And what you see,

Is the cat in me.

You think of me as evil,

But you don't understand,

That to me,

Good and evil,

Don't really exist.

To know me,

The true me,

You have to talk,

And see.

I will let you see,

The me that hides inside,

But you have to move first,

Because I am a cautious one.

Do you see me?

Do you hear me?

Maybe I should just move on,

And slip back into the shadows.
