Fading Shadows

A Poem

By Chris IrbyPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

In the darkness of my mind I search for a light I cannot find Empty thoughts weigh me down I'm drowning in silence can't make a sound

Fading shadows swallow me whole Lost in this world taking its toll A scream for help that no one hears Fighting a battle against my deepest fears

Memories haunt me Lingering pain that wont let me be Every mirror reflects a broken soul I'm trapped in a nightmare a sinking stone

I reach for a lifeline but people betray I'm suffocating from the words I can't say The weight of the world crushing my chest Why can't my parents see I'm doing my best

As the darkness closes in I seek refuge within I'll take one last breath and let go Scars from my past finally show
