Silhouette

Silhouette, a shadow behind the light

Silhouette, the darker side of me, visible through the day and night.

A shadow that lurks in the back, my doppleganger

The side of me where lies my anger.

It whispers in my ear

Temptations and actions that caused me fear.

Silhouette, eyes watching me from behind

Silhouette, the cause of the darkness of my mind

Always following me, I can't seem to shake it.

It's attached to me and I can't escape it

Silhouette, the reason for the madness within

Silhouette, something common among my kin.

This thing is driving me crazy

It's making my mind hazy

Silhouette, a dark fog chipping away at my sanity

Silhouette, it's withering away my serenity
