A Shadow

It follows us

It is our dark-side

Apart of us that we keep a secret from those we love and want to keep safe

It tempts you

Wants to control you

Sometimes it does

Our minds become so weak that we can’t fight back

We watch as you;No, it confuses your friends and family 

Makes them think “Who is this?” 

“Why are you doing this”?

No words,no sound

Nothing;That’s all you see

Morning 

Your head hurts

Your room is a mess

But you have no more strength 

No more power

You lay down as your clock ticks away

Too scared to face the world 

Afraid of what it has done

You look at your phone

You lost your lover,your friends 

You are alone 

That is it wanted

Without support,you start to slip away

It stats to grin

Chaining you to it

Making sure you won’t come back

Your body starts to tremble with the laughter of the person you have become

Your old friends avoid you

Your ex is with your best friend 

It fills you with rage and sadness as your shadow feeds on it

It gets stronger as you get weaker

Draining your energy

As the weeks go by, you see a light

A voice calling YOUR name

The chains that once held you are now gone

You run towards the light

It engulfs your body

You slowly open your eyes to see you are not alone

You have your family back

You are you
