Shadow


I’m a shadow.. a background image..

No one can see…

The chaos that resides within me.

The silent tears that no one hears.

My body scarred and wounded.

My heart jagged, so badly broken.

My thoughts building walls to keep others out.

And the piercing screams fighting to escape my mouth.
