Shadows

Shadows surrounding me
So much so that I can't see
Dark places that bring nightmares
I can't make a sound… I just stare.

I walk faster. I've got to run.
I want to see the light of the sun.
I want to be able to see my way.
I want to embrace the light of day.

But my shadows, they have other plans.
Around me do they twirl and dance.
I shut my eyes but they go there too
It looks like I won't make it through

I fall to the floor
I can't take any more
I scream in agony
But no light will I ever see

For now my eyes are open
My soul is broken
These shadows will not leave
Harboured inside of me

I stumble forwards
Only to fall backwards
The shadows are here
And all I can feel is fear

And I sink into the shadow
Above, around me and below.
I fear I'll never see the light.
I fear eternal night.
