A Thousand Shadows
Broken down by dreaming
Taken by the night
A wisdom that condemns me
For falling from the light
Arrested by my silence
Frozen by this earth
My wisdom sees right through you
The darkness in your curse
Advertise your trauma
The glitches of your mind
It’s not my place to tell you
I’d like the same in kind
The mirrors in my shadow
Countless as I stare
Their cracks consuming reason
I can’t see them, but they’re there
A thousand shadows haunt me
The infinite in one
I hide behind my curtains
Just to see a million wrongs
Broken down by waking
Taken by the day
My wisdom speaks of healing
Until the shadows have their say
