Just A Shadow


I'm just a shadow, standing in the back, Filled with gaping holes and millions of cracks. I'm trapped and I can't seem to get out, no matter how much I try to scream and shout. There I am, just standing in the dark, with no light, not even a spark. I'm so lost, and I can't find my way, and slowly and silently I begin to fade away. The emptiness eats away at me, and I'm afraid it will never let me be. Misery is my companion, I guess, my only friend, the loneliness will be there for me until the very end. I am surrounded by all of these walls, if only I can push them and make them fall. Ah! But alas! I'm nothing but a shadow, standing in the back.
