Shadows Poem by Vanessa Parodia

Shadows send shivers down my spine
Coiled fear waiting to spring
Creatures of the night are watching
As I walk by their eyes follow me
Things I've done filling me with guilt
Sadness forever never the same
Forever changed from the first
I wish I could turn back
Take back what I've said
Change my actions do something different
Pain pure agony inside
In the darkness of my mind
The pain is unbearable it consumes me
My smiles are fake only laughter is real
Purely crazy insane scaring me
Death unknown fear forever in the dark
Crying out for the light of others
Empty threats spent on others
Postponing the inevitable
We will be forgotten
