Ghost
I awake from my nightmare as chills roll down my spine.
All I hear is a voice screaming you're all mine.
I run for my life begging for mercy.
All I'm thinking to myself is why would you want to hurt me.
The voice gets louder as I try to find my way out.
I can feel its anger as it starts to shout.
I stop for a moment to face the ghost that's free.
I stood in shock as I discovered it's the old me.
"Change comes when you bury your old habits, but they can haunt you when you least expect it." ~LB
