Come find me?

0 posted 2007-07-07 10:55 AM



i walk around the corner
and see it follow me.
i turn around and look
to my suprize i see...

my shadow holds a fist
curled above my head.
a knife tucked in its fingers
wishing i were dead.

i try to run away
from the fear i can now feel.
but no matter how fast i run
he's always on my heals.

one day i know he'll get me
there's no doubt in my mind.
he'll chase me into a corner
and give me no room to fight.

he'll finish me off for sure
and no one will ever know...
how could i have possibly died
but be killed by my own shadow.

Please excuse me, my heart is bleeding.

Sometimes it does seem like our shadow side is stalking us. Well said.
