Darker Shadows

I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

The shadows are cold

Outside of the real

It's a place that was created

To be when you feel

Those not in the shadows

Really don't know

The place can be difficult

For your mind to grow

At the edge of the shadows

Emotions are on alert

Every sense every nerve

Refuses to be hurt

The darkness is numbing

The air is still

The outlook from here

Is controlled by your will

Tough to leave the shadows

As I hope to someday

When the light that shines

Points the other way

The barrier is blurring

As the light creeps near

A heart feels warmer

When your purpose becomes clear

Is it worth the effort

Is it worth the pain

When the shadows become light

Love is not in vain.

Much love, K
