Shadow
I feel trapped
confined to the shell
behind the veil of safety
Days pass by
nameless, pointless
piling into the past
Remnants of sanity
like crumbs on the carpet
get swept away with the trash
I feel the presence
looking over me with pride
reveling in my self destruction
Pieces of a shattered life,
cries from a wounded soul,
gasps from a strangled child,
I reach out for help
into the void of apathy
seeing only myself
