Fearing the shadow

It’s a shadow that I fear
Its presence disturbs me everywhere
When I look away I feel it stare
I try to run but it’s always near

At night it creeps on to my bed
And all my dreams become nightmares instead
When I open my eyes all I see is red
And I beg the lord; please don’t let me be dead

It tries to choke me late at night
I struggle and struggle but I can’t put up a fight
No one is there to hold me tight
My tears would drip but I’m still not alright

I screamed for those who say they love me
The ones who say they always cared for me
The ones who say they watch my back for me
But at the end …. They weren’t there for me

To all the people that betrayed me when I most need a friend, family , or a shoulder to lean on and cry … its all right I’m still here and sometimes is good to know when you’re really alone…I don’t hate anybody but remember pay back is a b**ch!
