I am lost in a shadow.
No matter how far I try to run or climb my way past it,
The darkness wraps around me, and claws away at my soul.
The more I fight to get away,
The more of me the shadow takes from me.
I have no more hope.
No more dreams.
All that I have left is a void,
Longing to be filled once more.
I have been lost in the darkness,
I no longer remember the light.
I once knew how to smile,
All I know is a frown.
I struggle to find the parts that I have lost,
Only to stumble further into darkness.
I grab and try to hold on,
But what I do manage to grasp,
Vanishes or slowly rots away.
I fear the day when I no longer reach.
I know it will come,
Swift and fast.
Each day brings it closer,
How I wish it could be today.
I am scared of the shadow,
The darkness that is all around me.
I face it alone,
Wishing for a hand to lead the way.
The hand is never there,
And it never will be.
I am scared of the darkness that is all around me,
The shadow that will never end.
I fear the light even more,
The darkness is all that I know.
What can the light hold for me,
Will it even exist for me?
I miss my dreams,
My hopes,
My smile.
I am lost in the darkness of shadow,
I am lost,
I am at home.
I am what I forever will be,
I am nothing,
No one.
