FEAR

Amrit Jangra
9 – A

A 1000 kilo stone skulked above my head
I could see hands
crawling up through the floor,
Towards me.
There were green eyed monsters,
looking straight into my eyes,
as if I were filthy and,
Not nice.
Life, it drained out of me,
Like a prisoner, craving to flee.
A shadow lurks to where I go,
trailing me, inflicting doubt
On the path ahead
to the great unknown.
It grows bigger
and my feet plant themselves
In resonance.
Soon I will become it’s slave
heeding it’s words as truth,
Defying my mind a clear verdict,
Only to bring me nearer to the shadow,
and cower in it’s safety.
