One Night

It was just like any other night,
I was walking alone in a fright 
One stormy night it was
With a meowing cat and a barking dog

Then suddenly i felt like i was being stalked
but when i turned, there was nothing but the storm
I started walking faster and faster
Taking one step after another.

It seemed like someone was behind me
Like someone was trying to get a grip of me
I started feeling more strange
walking on a spine chilling road with a back strain

I started to think that it was nothing
But i was wrong because there WAS something
But i couldn't figure out what it was?
Maybe a man or the same barking dog.

I was almost home but still scared
So i thought i wouldcatch that person by suddenly turning back
And then, that creature followed me to the porch 
I turned back and saw nothing but the storm

So i went inside thinking it was just my head
But no, he was inside, behind my back
I could feel his presence and i didn't know what to do 
Then i turned back and realized that it was my own contour 

It was my own shadow, i was getting scared of
It was my own self, i was being terrified of
Then something struck my mind
Was it a lesson that i was supposed to learn before dying?

Then I realized the person i was turning into
Making people sad was what i wanted to do
I remember all the friends I used to have
Now i have nothing but my shadow self.

The last Paragraph is not related to the rest of the poem but still i decided to write it anyway :P
