Shadow of darkness

by -> jAh 091705

Racing heartbeat

Difficulty in breathing

Feeling as though I can't get enough air

I know the shadow of darkness is here.

Terror that is almost paralyzing

Dizziness, lightheadedness or nausea

Trembling, sweating, shaking

I know you're just near.

Choking, chest pains

Fear that you're going to go crazy

Fear that you are about to die

You seem to rise from out of nowhere.

You surface without any warning

Without any way to stop you

You creep like a thief in the night

Lurking suspisciously with fright.

I see you as a devil's mate

Endowing danger and fear

But I know you're a fraud

An expression of make-believe.

You can't fool me

I won't give you victory

You can't control me

I won't let you rule me.

You're just an illusion

I won't lose to you

You're just a mere visualization

A figment of imagination!
