Shadow Poem by chalsey wilder

They say enjoy what you got while you have it
Well, what if you don't have anything to enjoy?
Like a shadow, miserable and meek
That's just what I am, a shadow
Doomed to walk the earth, to hide behind everyone's face but my own
And doomed to never be seen by someone you love again
Grey and dark from the inside out
The evil taking away every shred of humanity
However the shadow can't take my every feeling away from me
Especially love, nothing could take that away from me
Not ever!
That's to only brightness that shines within me
And hurts not to share it, not to show it
There is no way to die, and there is no way to live as a shadow
The urge to hurt people is too heavy, too strong
Almost too strong to fight, almost too much to please
The never ending thirst to feed on weak souls
Withering away onto the brink of death, but never dying
And on the verge of life, but never living
Death is what most of us shadows want, but never get it
So we're all lost and never will be found, always hoping we will be
