Be the change you want to be in the world


Fear
I know he is behind me,
He is walking as fast as I am.
I look back and he is only a few feet behind me,
His face pale with black hair,
While in a black cape that’s flapping in the wind.
I start with a sprint and I hear him creeping up on me,
My legs start to tremble,
My stomach is filled with butterflies,
My eyes start to water,
He makes me feel like collapsing.
He is breathing down my back,
He is telling me to be afraid.
I can no longer stand up to him,
I start to slow down and let him over come me.
Everything is getting darker and,
Finally its over.

She wants to die. She wants to disappear, to be remembered no more. She wants so terribly to be forgotten, all her mistakes, all her failures, everything. Her name to be wiped free from all record of existence. Because is it really existing when you’ve got nothing to show for your life?

it was good, but i agree that you could have worked on building up him so he is even more creepy. but it was still creepy and a really cool poem! :)

And since you know you cannot see so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself, which you yet know not of.

I enjoyed this, but I feel like you could have built "him" up a little bit more; made "him" more creepy (which the person was!). I love it though!! :)
