Miss Shadow


Miss Shadows portrail

is what I consider betrail

because she looks nothing like me.

 

Miss Shadow sits

as my mind throws fits

so calm,

I can't imagine why.

 

Again and again, I cry and cry

now Miss Shadow wonders why

-she lies on my wall-

she's mocking me now

-to stop

first, I have to try.
