He Follows Me Poem by Terry Coates

I am afraid to sleep at night
For I have a feeling that he might bite
I see him in the day time
In the shadows waiting to snatch me from my life
This is the first time I have ever been afraid
Afraid to sleep, move, and even talk
I have even prayed to my savior but it did not work
In this a test from God
Or does the shadow want me for his bidding
What ever it is please leave me alone
For it is not time for me to go home
