Description
Walking. A noise. I turn. Nothing.Nothing behind me. I walk again, then look down. A shadow, of a tall tall man, and tenticle like shadows behind him. He puts a hand on my shoulder, his mouth parting into a gooey demise of teeth. He won't hurt me. He's always there. No one believes me when I talk about him. A tall man, very tall, with no face. I never hear him, but he's here. When I walk in my neighborhood. It's dark and gloomy, storm clouds coming and the kids all inside, fearing the storm. The woods blow with eerie winds. They say something lives there, so old and so ancient. I walk alone, sometimes slow on my road. I look at the grey skies, and the dark forest. I feel someone behind me. I turn. Nothing there.
But there is something.
He's there. The Man.
He watches me, over me. He's my guardian in the Dark.
He looks harmful, and silent, and very mysterious.
People don't understand him. I understand.
He's lonely, always rejected, always regarded as weird, and not to be trusted.
That's how I am. People always rejected me, and always did not like me around. I'm lonely and alone, like him.
He found me in the woods. I was crying, I ran away. No one likes me, I thought, no one loves me. He did not do away with me like he would to any wanderer in his woods. He understood me. I understood him.
He was there for me.
He is my Silent Guardian

Yeah, kind of is original. The only thing that isn't is the mane. Soooo...
Well, let's just say that you suck at comebacks, and again, trying to make others feel bad to feel good about yourself.
And the planet stuff? No shit it's not original, it's a bucking meme. You think I intended it to be original? Ha, use some of those fastly-burning common sense 'brain' cells.

Thats not really proven when you think about it.
And why post such a rude comment? Was it needed? This person spoke of how they feel and you comment like that? Really?
I think its a great outlook on him.

Woah, woah, take a chill pill bro, been on the rage tablets?
Methinks you need to 'get over' the fact that things don't always have to be 100% accurate, and that regardless, this was written well. Probably better than someone with a minimalist outlook could do.
And swearing? Wow. I know 'Welcome to the Internet' but...
Unnecessary and uncalled for. >_>

Slenderman is a mystery. I'm sure the game never explains who he is or why he does what he does to other people. But I like your take on Slenderman and I love how this is written. It explains very well your thoughts on him and why you feel he's not as terrifying at others think. Plus it flow by really well as I was reading it.
Another thing I can relate to this for I too feel misunderstood at times. It fact it's a feeling I have been having recently and it makes me sad and frustrated. In the past there were people who never took the time to understand who I was and just assume I like to do this or that without my say on it. Plus recently, or more like it's a feeling I've been having for a couple of years but has gotten worse overtime, I have been isolated in my church home because while everyone talks about the problems they are going through and are looking forward to certain things, I can't relate to them because it's something I'm not going through and their dreams and goals don't match mine. Because of this I have days which I feel I have know reason to attend as well as to to support their goals, even though they been good to me over the years. I have the same problem with other events as well but that's where the isolated feeling is happening. That and to an extent my family.
While I don't see the Slenderman the same way you do, I understand if you view him as such.

maybe because they are both tall and have very thin arms and legs, both usually seen in business suits that are black and both are boney?

Just like to point out that Slenderman doesn't have a mouth,and in my opinion it detracts from your overall lovely artwork.
