Darkness

There is a shadow beneath my skin

It claws it curls it reeks within

It looks to hurt me when I'm weak

Corrupting every word I speak

 

Alone in darkness oh so black

It gnaws small marks on my back

It wants my goodness out the way

It screams and shrieks for me to sway

 

Deep inside I start to hate

It has no patience, cannot wait

This shadow untrue, cannot be

This shadow is a part of me
