shadows
the creeping darknessbrings the shadows to life
running and screaming
my fears seem to take flight
my heartbeat quickens
i know i have to get home
my blood turns to ice
as the shadows touch me
the shadows of death
of hate, deceit, and pain
they cause me to tremble
my fears must be slain
my survival instincts take over
i run as fast as i can
but the shadows are still quicker
and their grasp on me tightens
fear over takes me
and i can no longer fight
all i know now
is my world will never be right
the doubt has been planted
i see people for what they really are
and i know all they wish to do
is bring others pain
