Living In The Mind's Cage

44.

When you see my shadow on the wall,
Please know, that is what resides in my head

When you see its double in the sunlight slightly lighter than it,
Please consider, ‌that's what is wrapped around my heart,

So when my shadow shows on the wall, from headlights in the night,
Just know, that it's at its strongest when I'm alone and lost my fight.

Pain and doubt will follow me, I have no doubt about that,

Darkness always lingers about me, ready to pounce when I've succumbed,

These thoughts in my head, will be sure to snuff out anything that isn't it,

This beating heart of mine is only calm when I'm asleep,

This mind of mine will only be calm, when I am layed to rest,

And this body will continuously shut down without permission,

So when I say I am tired, my mind constantly is,

When I say that I am sore, I feel beaten from battles that I barely won,

And when I say my heart is broken, don't try to fix it,

You might get cut from its rusted sharp edges, that I used to numb myself.

A/N: I know it's short, but this popped into my head and I figured I should share it for my collection of darkness. Anyways still going to be slow updates I'm not sure when I'll be able to update once or twice a week again but we'll see I guess. So, vote, tell me what you think in the comments. I might put a picture with this later, but I figured readers would appreciate an update more than me fussing with this chapter over and over. Hopefully I'll be able to be on Wattpad more soon.
Until then.
