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
