Shrouded

How can you say you know me

when you have never asked my name

It seems that picture in your head is all I will ever be

I'm done playing this game

The shadows swirl, veiling me

How can anyone perceive with cloudy eyes

They cannot know if I am unable to make them see

If only they could hear my cries

I scream at blank walls

No one is listening

I am doomed to stalk these empty halls

Forever falling

I carry my burdens in silence

Afraid of my voice falling on deaf ears

I plod on, searching for guidance

For what to do with my wasted years

This baggage I drag on is getting heavy

I feel I bear more than my fair share

There is one thing I can no longer carry

I must shed the shroud that I wear
