My safety shadow
If we could step inside our shadow
Hide until the morning light
We could run away from reality
Making everything alright
Darkness need not fear us
Our anxieties would disappear
We would be hidden from any danger
Our silhoutte would be unclear
A humongous opaque human
Stood fearless against a wall
The stalker would be the scaredy cat
We could make ourselves so tall
Night-time wouldn’t worry us again
Our imagination could have a rest
No longer panicking in pain
A safe haven in our inner-self vest
The uncertainties of the not knowing
Is there someone following me?
If only I had a protective screen
I’d be a night owl walking free
But I do not feel safe when it is dark
Panic attacks haunt my mind
Even an innocent walking dog bark
Is a monsterous pursuer I find
