Notes: This is something I wrote a while back. Even now I still feel this way from time to time due to a lot of crap happening to me in my life. I don't want pity. I just want you all to understand why I wrote this poem! I'm saying that you guys will pity me. I'm just saying that I don't want it.
Shrouded by mist and invisible to all
I wait in the shadows for you to come for me
Finally I see you, the light that guides me
Just as I reach you, I'm pulled back by the darkness
I let out a scream of fear as I'm being swallowed by the darkness
As my eyes close, surrendering to my unavoidable eternal sleep and as my screams finally stop, I return to where I'd always belonged: the darkness
For I am a shadow but can you see the light I hide within?
