Something dark lurking
Is it my shadow
Or is it just me?
Is it a ghost of my nightmares
That haunts my sleep every night?
His slithering tongue
His daunting laugh
Terrorises my heart
As he hovers in my head
But this cannot be that ghost
This is something different
Something darker
Something more frightening
Something unknown
Is it the ghost’s shadow?
Do ghosts even cast shadows?

You have scary nightmares!

Ghosts do not cast shadows. Shadows cast ghosts. Ghosts are the reminiscence of the living. Shadows are the sorrowful thought of the dead. We all live. We all die. You are young. Keep writing.
