Musings of the Insane

Shadows

No one cares about me.

No one will catch me.

No one else understands.

That is what the voices say,

the voices that hide in the dark.

The shadows.

I hate them so much.

I just want to feel good again.

Beautiful.

Loved.

Unbroken.

But every time I start to love myself,

they tear me down again.

I want to run.

To hide.

To... die.

But even then,

I'll always be surrounded by

those fucking shadows.

I want to forget,

and just stay here in your light,

your warmth,

the hope I feel in your arms.

But you'll never stay.

Because someone as bright

and beautiful as you

can't stay in the dark but so long.

I'm fighting for us,

but it's a battle I'm destined

to lose, to die fighting.

Because you can't stand the dark.

I was born in shadows.

I am nothing but a shadow...
