Everywhere I go

At sleep,
I cover the sheets over my head
I'm afraid it'll jump put
from under the bed,
kidnap me into the world of darkness
where I speak a thousand words,
my voice remains silent,
I cannot be heard.

On the pavement,
I walk with a pace,
I'm afraid its spying on me-
the monster I decline to face,
Its awaiting me in the alley corner,
ready to sallow me in whole,
to become an emotionless labour.

In my dreams,
It comes along
chasing me from doors to doors
an endless path,
where my running is the only note-less song,

Its my greatest fear,
the one I cant conquer,
Its been haunting me
year after year.

I'm unable to fight,
it wont leave me alone,
I'm stuck and cant struggle free...
...Its the shadow I'm living in.
