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
