My Shadows

Those shadows.

I see them every night

They torture me and scream at me from left and right

They laugh at me and tease me

They call me names

So many names, I just scream in pain

They judge me and hate me

They are the shadows of my mind

Attacking, again and again

I try to fight battle, I try oh so hard

The battles are both long and short, in the end I can't even breathe at all

They test my strength, they test my courage

And when I lose they antagonize me, chuckling and prodding

Every time I slip and fall, I feel the pain of my failure to stand tall

I give in and lose, again and again

The loss is bloody and tiring, one day it will be my end

Those are my shadows, they bring me agony

And the worse part is, they go everywhere with me

And yet no one sees
