It kept on following me No matter how long or how fast I ran Pinched myself a thousand times In hope of waking up from this nightmare They were out to get me I could feel the darkness caving in Soon it was cold, I was out of breath It caught me, it wanted to kill me I have been running from the shadows of my past for years I was finally realising my dream but the light made the shadows reappear I was made to remain in the dark,left hopeless and walked upon That was the message my shadows told me While stripping myself of all dreams, hopes and life
I am from Mauritius. I’m still in high school, so school and tuitions and studying leave little time for a job or for many hobbies but I write and read every day. Since I was small, writing fascinated me. It has only been an everyday hobby but I hope one day I can publish a book with poems. Instagram: anais.tessa
