Shadows

Written by: Dynasty Roque

Shadows lurking in the corners, terrifying and lightless

Shadows feeding on my doubts, coming closer, leaving me mightless

Shadows blacken my imagination, leaving me feeling for a light switch

Shadows taking my ideas, jumbling them up, making me forget which is which

Shadows, they sneak in, stealing my thoughts that are pure

Shadows rid me of my identity, making me feel obscure

Shadows with relentless breath, extinguish the flames of my passion

Shadows, I beg of you, exit my mind in an orderly fashion

Shadows with welcoming voices, calling me over to the dark side

Shadows hoping to obfuscate me, to make me run and hide

Shadows may seem comforting, but they are almost always two-faced

Shadows surrounding me, waiting until it is too late

Shadows with the gorgeous faces they love to mimic

Shadows trying to distract me, with an appealing gimmick
