Authors note this is a very deep poem. I was in a very bark place at the time but now I feel a lot better.
There stands a dark shadow
In my way to the light.
It keeps me from society
And hides me in their shadows.
Everything time I try to go to the light
It takes me farther into the darkness.
I can not escape.
It holds me prisoner
Of my own fear.
No one after sees me
Or hears me.
It keeps me alone in the shadows.
I only have one friend
And it's the darkness.
The darkness controls me
And soon it will consume me.
Soon the darkness will take over
And I will become
It's puppet.
I make everyone else feel happy
And good about themselves.
But they turn their backs
And say mean things.
"You can't do anything" is all I hear
Ringing in my head.
Can anyone
save me from the darkness?
No one ever will.
I think I may only have one option
And that is death.
So, God if you are really there,
Why do you let me
Live like this?
Living in everyone's shadow.
