My Own Shadow

I walk the streets at the dead of night, the street lights the only light in the sky, no moon, no stars, I walk alone, so i think i am alone, i turn around quickly, to see a scared cat with the hairs on its back standing, i turn back around, and pick up my pase, i crash from behind me, makes me run, foot steps from behind me, i think i am going to die, when i turn the next corner, to see my house in site, i run in and lock the door, i look out the window to see nothing, it must have been my imagination, i was scared by my own shadow.
