A short poem about feeling scared and locked in, feeling that you can't escape.
I am awake

Shadows on the wall
Dark shadows
All over

Faded colors
Black and Grey
Moving

I'm running
Away
They are after me

Running faster
They're gaining up on me
Closer

An alley
A wall
Done

I turn around
There!
Dark shadows

After me
Closer
Close

Open my eyes
Breathe heavily

I am awake
