Sometimes I am open, Sometimes I am close. I keep your belongings, Even if they need hanging.

I am the antagonist in several movies and series, but in most games you're happy to deal -with- me. I give superheroes a hard time and make kings laugh.

I rest in shadows, quiet and flat, Wake up to swing or flutter at that. In stadiums bright, I help dreams soar, In caves at night, I search for more. I’m held in hands or spread in flight, One brings the game, one rules the night. What am I, fitting both paths I’m at?

Not me, feeling anxiety when I missed a whole day. Not me, sneaking in a few riddles while working from home. Not me, spending endless nights on my phone. Just one more...

I speak in weight, and not in air, A sudden message landing there. No tune to hum, or to keep, Just force that jolts you from your seat. Before your mind can even decide, Your body flinches, there’s nowhere to hide. Feel my voice, there is no choice.
