Shadow

i have to turn this in, so please give feedback :)

A darkly creature of the foggy night,

following my every panicked move,

as I run in hurry towards the light,

it is like a wrinkle I cannot smooth.

At every corner, it's at my tail,

I've tried to outrun it, it's here to stay,

I'm too afraid to describe in detail,

I wish I could stop it or force delay,

It never seems to lose me at my pace,

it will not retire or slowly decrease,

it seems as if it's running at a race,

but hopefully it will lose strength and cease.

But then I realised what I could not see,

it was my shadow watching over me.
