Shadow
That feeling you get
somewhere in between your stomach and your heart,
You want to clutch your chest, in attempt to slow down the quickening pace of your heart.
Nothing there.
You want to throw up your breakfast, only realizing you haven't eaten.

Then you run away. Running away from the thing that will push you down and laugh at you.
It doesn't leave but hangs on to your heels. You realize it's your shadow you are running away from.

You still run.
