Poem: Shadows

The shadows lurking in the corners
Forever following me
Always there, always a step behind
Ready for my fall, to take hold

I ignore them but know they're there
From the corner of my eyes
I keep watch, making sure
They don't over take me

Fought them for so long
Finally broke free
But I must stay on guard
Not to slip back into their embrace

Days were dark, nights were darker
They covered me but never kept me warm
Embraced me but I never felt close
Surrounded me but never felt secure

Must keep a step ahead
Must keep a watchful eye
Never let them keep pace
I must keep them at bay
