I'm running blindly
through the darkness
Trying to escape It
A growing fear
A receeding pace
Unable to turn
and face It

I feel It's breath
upon my neck
Barely unreachable
to It's icey claws
No further behind
than one false step

Afraid I might see it
I tightly close my eyes
Leaving me unaware
of the light just ahead
Sealing my fate
to a fear-filled demise


 Something has to change. An undeniable dilemma. But I am not a burden anyone should bear.

I could feel "It's" breath on my neck as I read your poem.

You got my heart racing thinking of something chasing me. It is the boogieman for sure. Now I have to sleep with the light on. Thanks.

and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King

What could possibly be worse than passing in fear?  This one leaves a searing image on my brain.  Great piece, danni.
