Was it a monster or my Shadow?

My poet challenge for “Don’t Turn Around”(inspired me when my thoughts were imagining about ‘Backrooms’ and also inspired some of my random nightmares )

I was about to get some rest from time to time..

Then…

I saw something strange…

I feel something odd…

I walk something that was out of place.

I have just went through the door.

I was walking through the liminal spaces-

Walking randomly with many steps-

step by step-

from the hallways to cinemas to convention buildings-

I walked through the narrow to largest areas.

I walked through some lightness to rarely darkness.

It was a very scary that day -

It was very empty-

I tried to shout but I fear about my voice.

I remember that I don’t have much visitors.

Until—- a shadow approached!

A voice cries and roars!

It was a monster !

I have been chased by it, so I run!

I can’t turn around !

I would fell or being caught!

I can’t turn around!

I have to jump!

Then…

I woke up..

I see my own room again ..

and I see my own shadow…
