Everywhere we go

They follow

Most don't see

Some can hear

A small few can do both

They take many shapes

They came in many colors

But they all think the same

They love to make you feel insane

They go in and out of the shadows

Hide in the walls

Take cover in cupboards

Lurk in showers

Crawl under the covers

And even go into your dreams

There horrible things

They only think about destroying you

And once their done

They move on

They leave you hollow

A shell of yourself

Nothing leave

You shamble though life

You'll never be the same again

You can't bring yourself back when they destroy you

You can try but it doesn't matter

They will come back

They always do

They make sure their job is done

They follow everyone

No matter where you are

Rich or poor

Black or white , and everything in between

You're not safe

No one is

You could lock your doors

Nail shut the windows

And make sure there's no a single shadow

But they'll get it

They always do

Is there a way to stop them?

To kill them?

Well, I don't really know either

They'll just be here for ever
