The Delusion
I see the shadow chasing me.
I see the black silhouette.
I see the knife in its hand.
I see its sharp teeth.
I see the shadow chasing me.
I see its intangible essence.
I see the sharp, dark claws.
I see its spiky hair.
I see the shadow chasing me.
But nothing is really there.
I wake up to reality.
I wake up really scared.
The Delusion Part II
As I wake up to reality,
I take a deep breath.
The sigh of relief,
The sigh of despair
As I wake up to reality,
My hands are trembling.
My mind is spinning.
My feet are shaking.
As I wake up to reality,
I take a look around.
It is all quiet.
There is nothing there.
