Something follows me home-

Something follows me home-
Again-as an Owner-
It darkens my World-arbitrarily-
Permeates and covers-
I cannot see, but sense-
It crawls close to me-and onto me-
Slavering-
Then comes the Spooky Leisure
My Soul struggles hard-so confined-
Screaming for a Flight
Painful is my Body to restrain-
So willful a Soul
While my Nerves dance-unrestrained-
As if to celebrate-
The Opening Ceremony of-
Some kind of Unrest
As expected-the Show begins-
Overwhelmingly-
The Drum-beats aloud and rapidly-
Like a Heart
The Performer unseen-on the darkest stage-
Performs an Awful Feeling-
Therewith I can feel-
The Weight of my Heart
At length the Show is ended-
Then-the calm of Nerves
And the silence of Soul-
The Thing is conquered-by Numbing Despair
p.s. I did turn off the light of my apartment in the evening so as to feel the loneliness with fear while I was composing it. The poem is apparently based on an imitational style of my favorite poet, Emily Dickinson. Hope you like it!
