Shadow Self

poem by: Misty Shadows
Written on Oct 05, 2015

I want to run away
I want to hide
But This Feeling Won't Subside
I want to scream
I want to cry
It's killing me inside
It's eating me alive
Voices in my head
Keep fighting back and forth
Don't feed the monster!
It follows and taunts me wherever I go
Every time I fight it
I want to give in just a little
So I can feel this rush
That feels so good
My shadow is a drug
But it won't let me go
It takes control
I want to forget
But it won't let me go
Shadow Self
It's chasing me
Trying to take control
This isn't me
I'm not myself
I've never known my own shadow
As well as I do now
Hoping that this shadow will soon be
Buried back again
So I can remember
Who I really am again...
