Shadow monster
Deasia Carter 2005 (Athens)
There's a monster in My Shadow
It follows me wherever I go
This monster must be aware it knows I know it's there
There's a monster in my shadow
I can hear it's whispers
I can hear it's steps
I can see a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye I know it's there for certain
There's a monster in my shadow
I can even see it in my mirror
It stares at me and I stare back
It smiles when I frown
Showing it's teeth when I say leave me be
There's a monster following me
In the dark it will roam in the dark it Will creak
If I don't speak
And Don't listen to the shrieks
if I don't look
at what should not be seen
I won't notice the monster staring at me
I do not trust this monster
that lives in my shadow
I do not trust this monster
I do not always
see
About this poem
A shadowing creature of the night does not play nice it gives a fright in the mirror and in the Halls the shadow creature is not fun at all
