My Dark Shadow

My dark shadow wanders aimlessly, lost, voiceless and empty. Thrashed between possibilities and broken dreams, a dying hope gasps for air.

It is surprising how hard a simple breath can make things and the hardest thing is to keep breathing. At every step my shadow falls, struggling to get up as it is thrown ten steps behind. How do I shake off the ugly thoughts that crowd my mind, filling it till to the brim and more, until it loses the sanity? Sanity which held the fragile hope and belief once is fading into nothing.

A wishful whisper, a cry for release, my heart bleeds at every beat
Fade away, my dear soul, for this world is not yours
There's too much pain here, it's too dark...
Fade away into the clouds, dancing with the wind
Your struggle will never end, this world will always win
