The Cult of The Shadow

A fictional free verse poem, if you'd call this that

I take boat all alone to somewhere afar

The grey clouds cover the stars

It rains oh so heavily and lightning strikes

Following a shadow to an unknown place

The thing I used to be scared of

Will now become the thing I use to cope

 With my fears I haven’t faced

I’m still here alone

What happens now will be unknown

I have my first regret yet

 I keep following the dark figure

I’ll keep on going

Since they said here lays my beautiful treasure

So I keep on rowing and rowing

I notice the horrible weather

It seems like it’s getting even worse

No matter how many people have died in this storm

I must carry on following the shadow

Going on and on

It seems I have been lost forever and ever

Now I am a miserable ghost

Regretting everything

 For the rest of my afterlife
