Shadowy Mist
My fear has never been the darkness, but what lingers in it. Faceless shadows here, there, everywhere....Freaking me out!
Shadowy Mist
by PriMMoving, flying, lying in wait,
Creeping out on me and my mates.
No one should expect to be safe,
Especially, if you are out late.
Scary, limp, darken and dreary,
Sending the chills to make me weary.
Every moment I’m friendless
Wishing they let me sweat less.
Shriveled up in a strange corner,
Smelling their odd decaying odor.
Fearing them making their way,
I say a single line of prayer.
My instincts call out to run,
But should not I wait for the sun?
As I step out the door,
I fall flat on the floor.
Feeling their odious touch,
Dallying on my soft tresses,
Letting out a deep long breath,
Readying to fight this shadowy kiss of death.
Will I ever win?
Will I see them squirm?
These are my questions,
As I wake up in my realm.
Shadows here, shadows there, shadows everywhere,
Wailing, withering, wasting away,
Only alive to scare me another day.

The meaning of Freedom is different; as the saying: to each their own. When one is in darkness, it is at that very moment you reminisce and value all things that were worthless, as worthy.
