shadow

Shadow

I sink into the background

Fading into the walls

Someday I want all of it to end

I can’t help but to take the punishment

I cry my tears and they feel cool to my skin

I just want to fade faster

They shove me around till my spirit and will

Is shattered among the four winds

I walk home to the family I hope

Keeps me safe

But when I walk into the wooden door

I walk into a whole new nightmare

I pray to my god that the demons don’t win

But they do

They step closer to claim their prize

I can’t help but to ask myself

How much can a man take?

How many can he save all while he dies inside?

How much can he give with nothing to show for it?

I become a shadow

I am forever cursed to walk the earth
