In my mind, tricks do play
Happens to me every day
Panic strikes and fear sets in
This is how my day begins
I gasp for air and try to breath
Fighting thoughts which deceive
Yet, with trembling hands and a pounding heart
I see the shadows in the dark.
They gently whisper calling me
Making sure I do see
They are here and want to play
And have no plans to go away
I saw the sun shine one day
But the clouds chased it away
I hide away so no one sees
This terror living inside of me
Loneliness’ has become my friend
She’ll stay by me until the end
With promises one day we’ll be
A shadow in the dark we see.
