I see myself leaving and question my judgement but continue alone
I see some people from school that I know but continue alone
I see the sky darkening and a full moon coming out but continue alone
I see the winds whipping leaves around me but continue alone
I see a bustling well-lit street but continue alone
I see little children in their costumes but continue alone
I see a soccer mom giving out genorous portions of candy but continue alone
I see a mother scolding her daughters because they took too much but continue alone
I see what I see when I turn out the lights but continue alone
I see fear creeping up behind me and grasping me but continue alone
I see my house with happy trick-or-treaters leaving but continue alone
I am alone

Thank you for your entry. You have captured the true sense of being totally alone in every situation with vivid imagery. It was informative but seemed to lack flow as it was to repetative using the same ending word. Maybe it would have sounded smoother with a little rhyme thrown in or just using the word alone at the end or beginning of each stanza. Your thoughts are appreciated, Ken IBT
