Just Stuff That Goes Through My Head

*Free*

It's a shadow...a dark scary shadow, but it's been there for awhile now always watching and haunting me.  It won't leave. Why won't it leave? What did I do to deserve this fear? This shadow follows me now it was just a beast that watched me as I slept, but then it followed me go school and to the mall everywhere I went there it was.  With it's empty sockets and toothy grin and to tall of a body towering over me and dripping nothing but darkness, and every drop of darkness that fell on my head created nothing but nightmares.  These nightmares contorted their way into everything I did. They danced over all my thoughts and actions flatting the little bit of beauty I saw.  One day though the shadow handed me something wrapped in a song of sadness and fear, and as I looked in my hand I saw the sharp edges of a promise broken into a million pieces and here it sat now being thorn into a broken song filled of anger and pain. 

I try to hide this shadow the best ways I can not wanting anyone else to see the monster it was turning me into.  I didn't want to see it myself.  Watching the shadow as it morphed into this beast. Growing and growing until finally it stopped it turned to me with biggest grin and whispered in my ears "free" over and over it said this getting louder and louder until I agreed screaming the words "free" until it became a single thought and then it was gone.  The beast this  nightmare stopped yelling and as the pain spread the shadow pooled around me suffocating me until it was all gone with just one word.

"Free"
