Cover of Night

Is this my life, or what someone else left behind? Am I making the decisions, or the ghost of my past? I go in circles trying to get into my own mind. The shadows come, I pray that they don't last. I am aware of more darkness surrounding me, and I am too far removed from the light. I close my eyes,for there is nothing to see. And the day comes to an end, it is night. I am of the night, it is where I dwell. I wander about freely, no one to see. There are secrets here, no one to tell. I am invisible, no one notices me. I have no interest in tomorrow, It is just another today. The cover of night, shields my sorrow. This life is my own, none will betray.

Sandra, your poem captured me in the first line and did not put me down until the last word was written. BRAVO!

I dislike feeling like I'm going in circles. I am of the night, it is where I dwell... a powerful line that can be seen visually. Blessings be for you to find the light. Good writing
