a ghost trying to fit in

i wrote this for every body that was forced to be taken from his world and imprisoned in another, for every body that knows the feeling of trying so hard to fit in.. please don't forget the comments :smt001

walking behind others, an incomprehensible figure a ghost.

no voice, no soul

just a shadow following slowly, watching, observing how humans act.

you look hard, concentrated, shy, sweet, unseen.

safe in the shadows, safe in the dark.

somebody speaks to you, your shocked you are no longer a ghost. you lower your head and answer in your tortured voice.

your presence is now known.

you freak in silence, you twist, you roll, you blink, you can't believe what you just did.

you remember the words you uttered out, every body becomes silent in complete shock the ghost did speak!

silence tears you from inside, you tremble your brain storms away, "what have i done....what will i do?....."

your heart races so hard, you sense some voices...... your heart pumps so hard inside you.

it blocks you from every thing around you...

suddenly you find yourself in a sea of sweat.... you never even realize your running until you find yourself back in the shadows..leaving every body behind after despairing to your shelter...

too mush too soon...

still a ghost always will be you think.....

thnx for the helpful remarks but this was written by my sister ( insists on getting into other people private business).

Hi there,
First off, this is a creative idea. However, I think it belongs in a poetry forum instead of non-fiction. Your diction provides for imagery that would make it a better candidate for a poem than for fiction; if you wanted to go the latter route, some plot or character development would be good.
There's good potential for this piece, but right now, the grammatical errors are too distracting. Go back and properly capitalize the first letter of every sentence. My other comments are in red.
