Even With a Ghost Behind You, Move On

Look around in every corner, 

Look in every section of the street, 

Every fragment—

Every shard—

Don't let the ghost get to you.


Don't let your eyes wander down the mist, 

So far away for your iris to melt.

Don't let your heart stop beating, 

you need the adrenaline. 

Move swiftly with every step, 

be quiet, be impassive, 

no matter how near the ghost is to you,

You will survive the next second.

You will move forward with the timeline of life. 


Don't let the ghost get to you,

No matter where you are.

So, look around in every corner,

Every fragment, every shard.
