Shadows
I. Anxiety I scream. It breaks me. Inside.
The shadows— They… they’re always running around Scaring me when I least expect it What did I ever do to them?
II. Depression
**** The shadows are my friends; or at least, I treat theme as though they are. But they seem like the worst kind of friends. Controlling. Manipulative. Joyless.
They’re so tall that they block the sunlight; beneath them I feel small, insignificant.
But they’re a part of my life; I can’t cut them out.
III. Scream
Let me go.
