It spooks me wherever I go              

So, I hide in the darkest corner where it leaves                      

It loudly roars my secrets to the ground on which it crawls                    

And haunts me at my own being.        

It makes me lose my own acceptance and distracts me from my inner light        

It shows me the shape I have and the imperfections I possess        

I want to scream like the winds scream and yell like the clouds yell

As it creeps up on me, whispering that I am not enough

The animal inside me howls.

I feel like it is the shadow of insecurities

Sneaking up on me with ease,

Haunting me constantly

That nobody sees.
