Dark Shadows

There appears to be a dark shadow that never goes away,
Why is it at times I feel so sure that it's here to forever stay?
My feet seem to get heavier with every other step I take
Always so frightened that no matter what I did would lead to another mistake.
Its a lonely path I travel with many dangerous curves and turns,
Each road I take gets harder but its one more lesson learned.
I pray each day that darkness will be gone finally at last.
I found forgiveness was the answer and that the dark shadow was my past.

Good write. Maybe count syllables and see if you can match close to the same number in each rhyming line. I am being nit picky though. Very good.

Nice write!
Leave breaks for the pause
So to have a better meter
But very nice by content
But I'm not a good teacher

So if you get my demo
Then I've done my job
Like how to be silly
Streaming wonderful words
in a prose like glob

lol sorry for the silly! Please note this is a real nice write that in my opinion needs it's meter by adding breaks and choicer words in the long sections.
