Shadow Self by Sarah Walrus

Shadow Self

to live life like a horror movie.
a soundtrack of classic rock
Black Sabbath
Led Zepplin
a costume of latex and leather. 
black black black.
a dark hallway -
shattered window
old Halloween skeletons
portraits whose eyes follow
a man who really does follow.
Keeps his hood up
No Jason mask
No burnt Freddy features
No,
No evil clown.
Candyman, Candyman.
He's just a man,
I'm just a girl
trying to breathe in
haunted houses into haunted houses
but my horror movie
is my name
printed half-heartedly
on a birth certificate
besides a number.
