Sleep…

Deep in the darkest place there is no sleep

No rest or ease of mind

No rest

No dreams of clouds or fantastic places

No rest

Now I  only dream of bad things

Memories that are not my own

Not me

Not  me in my dreams

Only a stranger

Someone stranger than me

A duality that reaches for love but claws at it with reckless abandon

A animal in a cage not of his making who holds the key to his own cell

A cage with no walls yet a prison still it makes

A Shadow Me

Split into many halves

A Shadow Me that creeps in from the dark

Into the waking world  it crawls and shouts vile words at the world around it

Makes me  feel things that I immediately regret…

Just think!

Think and hold onto me myself and the very core of who I am

There is light wanting to spill out like water from a fountain

I feel the light but The Dark traces what it wants of me with sharp claws making sounds like nails on a chalkboard…

Is it too late?

The grin is already on my face and the evil words spill out with sharp points

This is not me I repeat ad nauseam

This is not me

This is not me

This is not

me
