Shadow Stalker (I Am)
In the corners of a winding mind
Where shadows dance and fears convene to play
A specter, unseen, evolves and intertwines
With fleeting thoughts, in darkness, it holds sway
Its icy touch, a whisper in the night
A haunting presence lingering like mist
In every move you make, a silent blight
That twists and turns through dreams where you resist
Fluid and shapeless, morphing with each step
A phantom form that shrouds your waking hours
It creeps closer, a shadow’s subtle depth
Infusing doubt amidst the blooming flowers
You seek the light but find a murky haze
Where norms dissolve and shadows reign supreme
The chilling grasp tightens in its maze
Entwining your soul within its haunting scheme
With every flicker, faintest gleam of hope
The specter reappears to claim its hold
A broken dream on life’s precarious slope
In shadows deep, its tale of fear is told
Embrace the dark, surrender to its might
For whispers in the night speak of its power
Drawing you close into eternal night
Where fear transcends into an endless hour
The fear you trace within this darkened space
Is but a mirror of your inner hand
The shadow’s grasp intensifies its embrace
Forever lost in lands you cannot understand
Lost in the tangles of this twisted dance
Ensnared within the shadows’ binding band
Yet deep within lies a sliver of chance
To break free from fear’s suffocating brand
So let your spirit rise above the fray
And face the shadows with unwavering eye
For in the darkest night, there shines a ray
Of light that guides you as you reach the sky
In shadows deep, where fear has held its sway
A glimmer of hope sparks a flame anew
Embrace the light and banish dark dismay
For in your heart, courage will see you through.
