Dysthymia

I live with a shadow

I live with a shadow
A shadow filled with fright
I live with a shadow
A shadow even threw the night
I live with a shadow
A shadow that I fear
I live with a shadow
A shadow no one can hear
I live with a shadow
A shadow that makes me nobody
I live with a shadow
No one can see
I can only see this shadow
This shadow I will get to know
I’ll admire this shadow
Soon it will help me grow.
