Darkness begins to set in the background
Nothing can be heard even the faintest sound.
It follows me every step of the way
Even as the sky and clouds begin to turn gray.
A dark figure is creeping up behind me
And soon I start to run and flee.
With every step I take it gets closer
And every twist and turn is a blur.
I try and hide with no success
And fear continues to build up nonetheless.
I scream for a plea of help
But I'm alone and have to face this myself.
Turning a corner I catch a glimpse of a black figure
So I stand still and tall making myself bigger.
With my back to this mysterious figure behind
I remain calm and begin to clear my mind.
I clench my fists and blink away tears
As I prepare to turn around and face my fears.
I'm in shock by what I see
Its my shadow staring back at me.
I live in fear of my past and present self
I must be accepting and change for my own health.
Time to change and forget my past
Before I begin to fall again with the future time to pass.
