Ghost!

A head or a tail- which does he lack I think his forwards coming back He shimmers through a wall as if a ghost Looking for a better host It seems as though he’s spotted me My body begins to shake because of what I see I start to run as fast as I can Now he’s where he last saw me stand A ghostly body floating after me I’m scared I’m frightened of what I see Looking back to see if it’s there But what I see is a shiny red glare It’s coming closer what should I do Again I run from this scary pursue Now I’ve run from that scary pursue I start to think of something new I count to three Saying there’s no one chasing after me Now that I’ve regained all of my confidence I’m ready to over come this hindrance I run left I run right Hoping nothing will come in sight I manage to make it out the door Now I don’t have to witness this anymore - Lorenzo L. Carty
