Shadows

Painted on the walls they are

I cannot reach; they’re too far

Are they real, are they not

I have a present past that I forgot

 

No, what is real, and what is false

My screaming heart and throbbing pulse

Tells me that I am not being tricked

Across my face the salty tears are flicked

 

What have I done to reach this place

A painful chamber, a devilish face

Keeps haunting me, traps me down here

My aching insanity will never disappear

 

Shadows of what a life looks like

I think that I’ve been psyched

I’ve been here for way too long

I don’t think I can keep being strong

 

I’m tired and so weak

My freedom I seek

But that’s not possible

Escape is improbable
