19. Poem - GHOST TOWN

Going far away from the inner self,

Hoping to find something in the haunted land ahead.

Only then I realize that I have come too far, as the

Soul eaters keep clouding my mind with their whispers, 

To them, I ask, to take my mind and spare the soul, for mind is the real evil. 

Toying with my mind amidst the cold breeze, 

Ominous creatures rejoiced.

Willing to be possessed by the demons, I step forward, 

Numbness wraps my body as I look at soul eater in the eyes.

I wrote this acrostic poem with a word ‘GHOST TOWN’ last year for a Halloween contest on Wattpad. When I read it now, I don't know what I felt when I first wrote it.  It's a strange but an exciting feeling.
