I sit obediently in my class, listening to the teacher drag on
About something uninteresting
My attention span is gone
Until I catch something in the corner of my vision
A line shadow, standing on the other side of the room, something only my nightmares could envision
It somehow stared at me, no face to read anything I might be thinking
What does it want with me?
It soon after dissipated, sinking to the floor
The feeling of something watching me not disappearing from my core
I came to realize though, that I was beneath my two feet
Mimicking my own movements, it's own will obsolete
For that's what shadows do
The follow their owner around
Revealing the inner darkness inside of you
