In the Shadows of Existence


As I sat at my workday desk, I  felt a  presence behind me.


I  stiffened  and  panicked  for  I  knew  not  what  that  creature  would  be,


Whatever  it  was, I  sensed  the  wild  spirit  in  it, 


And  I  ran  like  a  mad  man, ran  without  any  wit,


I  could feel the creature following and my heart went haphazard.


I  ran  and  ran  for  a  very  long  time, 


Till  I  came  to  my  senses and  sensed  a  familiarity  behind, 


And  I turned around. 


My  heart  stopped  for  a  moment, so  shocked  I  was, 


For  what  I  saw  was  me  myself;


Without  any  shackles  and  without  any  bonds,


Free  and wild  to  please  myself,


And that was who I was running  from.
