Shadows Within

by Brittany C   Sep 6, 2011


Shroud by shadow
darkness creeps in.
Silhouetted in the distance
figures come in sight.
Walking, closing in.

Images cross
my frightened thoughts.
Goose bumps cover me.
Shivers run through my body.
Confusion, can't think straight.

Heart thumping,
chest hurting
I try to run away
but I just can't.

For you cannot run
from internal monsters,
that only you can see.
They're stuck in your mind
dismayed; your lost.

    I love the title, kinda prepares the reader that theyre in for some heavy stuff, heavy sadness to be precise. Idk, but dont you think its kinda better sounding if you edit the first line to- SHROUDED by A shadow, instead of- Shroud by shadow? Anyways, all in all, its an enjoyable read. Good job friend.

    I think it depicts the fears of our own that haunt and chain us in some way. It was clear and hear pounding for anyone that knows about the monster fear that lives within..Excellent
    You need to edit out the funny squiggles grr I hate those things :-)
