Hidden in the Shadows

Most days there’s nothing  to look forward to.

Months would go by and I’d only be moving backwards.

No-one understands me.

Sometimes your left wondering which way to turn next.

Everyone use to listen to me, now there’s barely anyone at all.

It seems these days I’m left with only a speck of dust to talk to.

All my dreams are fading away.

The dark sky is like a giant stalker made ethically of darkness.

With nobody around, my fears over take me.

Everywhere I step, the floor claws at me.

The darkness is now a friend.

The world is slowly disappearing.

I’m burning up inside and I want revenge.

Every little movement I make the emptiness follows.

The streets are deserted.

The air is unbreathable.

The grass is dead, flowers have drooped.

Roads are broken and cars are smashed.

The food has gone off and the water is contaminated.

My clothes are torn and stained with blood.

My hair is ratty and there’s not much left.

My hands are burnt and the skin is peeling.

My shoes are lost and my feet are hurting.

I have little hope left.

As I walk around helplessly, I see something in the distant.

A small place for happiness.

Fresh food and water. New clothes and shoes.

Grass still alive, flowers standing high.

Plants well and mighty.

but it will not last forever and it’s not what I want or what I need.

I leave at once and hike thought what’s left of the mountains.

I’m starting to grow weak and tried, I don’t think I can hold on much longer.

Breathes are slipping away from me.

I walk forward as much I can, but I slip and stumble and fall in a hole.

Wondering why this cold, cold world hates me, what did I do to deserve this.

I’ve got nothing, I’ve lost my ways. I have decided my journey stops here.

As I pick up a rock, I hear a sound.

A soft sound. A light sound. A sound I’ve never hear before.

With my emotions running wild and my heart plumping rapidly, I turn to face the sound.

I’m astonished to what made that noise because  there is nothing but shadows.

But wait! Hidden in the shadows is everything you could have ever wanted..
