I Am Not Alone Poem by Afzal Shauq

I am not alone,

Angel of death
haunts me
ever following...
worries consume
fire flames
burning in my heart.

I am not alone...

Suspicious life
shadows
always are lurking
trying to avoid
myself
running to and fro.

I am not alone...

Person possessed
seeking
longing for refuge
seeking a place
none see
even death's angel.

So what to do....

In dreams I walk....
free as the wind
circling
restrictions gone
released by darkness.
