Night Scared Poem by Wendy Gomez

breathing hard

breathing harder

and harder

at night when you walk home do you ever feel something whatching over you?

or maybe do you feel speeding up in ure steps when your alone at night?

or do you ever wonder why ure lips open and you try to speak but nothing comes out because your voice fades in fear?

I hope I'm not the only one.....

sometimes when I walk home, I feel this prescence walking right beside me

it's almost as if my shadow is alive and its stalking my every move, my every word, my every breathe, and my every step.....

Sometimes I feel like a child whos asleep but theres a blanket over him..

and every time he sleeps he feels that same blanket on top of him

i walk and walk, closing my eyes, tightening my knuckles....

THOUGHTS
THOUGHTS

It's as if my mind is yelling to be afraid...

I feel like I'm walking but i never get to my destination

I start running

I feel the cold bitter wind on my neck..

I stumble but I keep running, running running

with a fierce STOP... I stand

I feel paralized

I can't move at all

my whole body is hypnotized by this strange new fear.....

I pass out with a thump I hit the rough concrete

fear has a name and its scary

at that same second I wake up and realized it was a nightmare

or was it....?
