It was a windy day and as the sky got dark
All I could see was shadows everywhere.
Shadows on the tall office buildings as I
walked past them as fast as my little legs could carry me.
But as I walked past them, they begun to pull towards me
Snaking cross the ground as fast as they could go.
I didn’t know if I would make it to my apartment before
they got me, aren’t shadows suppose to be friendly?
Why are they following me and do I even want to find out
At this point ?
Probably not, as I swipe my card I’m in the building and I pull
The door closed just as the shadows roll up.
When it didn’t come in I was relieved, for I was finally safe
As the shadows disappeared with a blink of my eye I
Wonder if the wind was playing a trick on me and the shadows
Were just in my head?
