The Stare of a Shadow

Too aware of my surroundings,
ears wide open.
I feel the static
as my bones get shaken
with the sounds of traffic.

I reach a place, shadows fall
right into that same place
but i can't tell, their motives
or why they're staring.

Have i gone the wrong road?
the pen i'm holding rejects my grip
and i just can't believe,
that i'm still here.
