Poetry
The Shadow
I clear my mind, count one, two, three
and open up a door.
I see where I should never be
and hope I never will.
Loss of breath encounters me,
I loose a piece of what was me,
a monster leaves from inside me,
I know that soon there will be shame!
But now the strength is greater, still!
I don’t want this to be my name!
He tears the room apart, I see!
It happens right in front of me.
He’s overcome the anger, still!
But I will speak the whispers, chill.
Why can’t he just let me be?
The waves, the ocean calls, I know.
I close my eyes and see the mist.
It soothes the beast, calls.
The waves, at last, walls.
Tomorrow is a better day, I know it.
I tell jokes, I’m funny now!
But it just will not let me be!
In the distance, once again,
It burns the open fields ahead
And I foretell I’m left embarrassed!
No friends now, and lost, all gray.
Why doesn't he just let me be?
It’s growing stronger inside me!
The waves advance. He falls and screams!
That’s not me! It couldn’t be!
He won’t go away. He’s attached to my foot!
I scramble!
He tightens.
He won’t let go!
Sea foam calms me now. I am more alone.
People are around me now.
Nobody’s touched or hurt.
I take drugs. I’ll stay alone forever.
