They are hallowing

Am I losing my mind?

Am I really mine?...

I get twisted up in crazy things all the time.

Crazy weather, crazy people, crazy visions

Today was hot like I was trapped in a sandy desert

I now know what could happen if I glance back

We used to play a game as young children

It was called Statue.

All the children would move only when the security guard wasnt looking

When the security guar...

I saw a shadow flow by like a whisper in the cold breeze, hitting along the trees, making its dusty gray mark. I light a match to bring forward the light only to see shadows dancing from side to side, tree to tree, asking to be set free from the torment, I stand, frozen, unable to make the shadows disappear but they’re engraved in my mind.

I can see them

I know that they are there

Keeping me tense with their close distance

Following me without fanfare

I don’t know who they are

Nor why they stalk behind me

But these silent footsteps are silently driving me mad

And they’re much too close to flee

I’ve walked this route for years

And have never seen them go past

Theirs is not a face that I’ve come to face as a part of my routine ...

They’re here

They’re there

They’re everywhere

I can see them

I can even feel them if I want

They’re in the shadows

Crying for help

They want to be in the light

Everyone thinks I’m crazy

Insane even

Because of what I see

What I hear and f...

My head turning in a panic

I’m acting little manic

I thought I saw a shadow, a figure

It was huge, a giant…perhaps even bigger

Shake me and give me a fright

Long and pointy sq...

They watch,

They stare,

They lurk ,

Their breath caressing my neck.

Behind the corner

Behind the doors

Behind the people

The shadows lingers with eagerness.

They judge

They punish

They mock

The darkness is waiting impatiently.

I can not escape

They can not stop

They consume me

They are always wanting

They are always pleading
