The Shadows in the Forest

I ran into the trees as tall as a pyramid, I didn’t want to go in, but I did.
I turned on my lantern to admit some light, and then all the sudden came back my sight.
I tried to sit down, to have a rest, but I heard leaves rustling around me in the darkness.
“Who’s there?” I yelled but the forest consumed it, and at that moment my lantern became unlit.
I felt shadows surrounding me as I stood there in fright, so I ran to the river that was shimmering in the moonlight.
I saw a shadow ahead of me as I took a step back, I took another that’s when I fell of the track.
Splash! My body went when I fell into the river, I started to shiver.
I saw at the river bank a big brown bear, I really wanted to, go back on this dare.
I saw a root floating ahead of me, I was thinking if this really was reality.
I grabbed it and pulled myself to the riverbank I coughed up some water that I accidentally drank.
I got out of the river and started dash, I was going as fast as flash.
I didn’t know what happened next, and now we both are perplexed.
