Don't Turn Around

It sat on my tongue

the fear in my mouth

Carelessly strung

from true north to south

My entire being

was fraught in despair

Afraid of someone or something

that may not even be there

A hint or suggestion

of someone behind

Stirred the ominous question

with no answers to find

Begging for intervention

to save me from my mind

Neverminding to mention

my sanity resigned

To the depths of my torment

to the end of the line

grasping for reinforcements

to strengthen my spine

But alas, I am tortured

my fate undisclosed

I must continue forward

my frame of mind predisposed

Whatever the outcome

whatever happens to me

I was soundly outdone

but never let out a scream
