The Shadow in the Night

The shadows of the night slowly appear

The stillness in the air begins to asphyxiate me

The anxious energy begins to seep into my emotions

The fears I feel are not from the darkness of the atmosphere

The emptiness comes not from the stillness of the night

The sole intruder tramples within my thoughts

The mind secures the mental intellections

The pain hidden from view remains a shadow in the night
