The shadows hold stories
Of people never seen.
They creep up the walls,
They move within dreams.
Are you afraid yet?
Are you afraid to go?
Will you drag your feet?
Will you walk slow?
The night whispers things
No one wants to hear.
It sneaks through windows
And vomits into ears.
Are you afraid now?
Are you shaking, cold?
Are you panicking now?
Are you ready to go?
It's okay.
Just a moment of pain and then
nothing.
Nothing at all.
You've been waiting for a decade.
It's time to take your fall.
Of people never seen.
They creep up the walls,
They move within dreams.
Are you afraid yet?
Are you afraid to go?
Will you drag your feet?
Will you walk slow?
The night whispers things
No one wants to hear.
It sneaks through windows
And vomits into ears.
Are you afraid now?
Are you shaking, cold?
Are you panicking now?
Are you ready to go?
It's okay.
Just a moment of pain and then
nothing.
Nothing at all.
You've been waiting for a decade.
It's time to take your fall.
First off: a huge thank you to my mentor in rhyme and flow, V. This was a poem that I was, previously, not satisfied with and extremely hesitant to post. V gave me exceptional advice and edited several lines so that they flowed better. I am honestly proud of this poem now so, once more: thank you, V!
I encourage you to check V out as he's an amazing poet: http://hellopoetry.com/v/
