Haunted

Shadows of my past crawl up to my heart dark at night 
Ripping the wounds which have disappeared from sight
In the cover of blankness I look at my life 
Fear mongering like a dark cloud in broad daylight 
Yes,I sense those shadows pricking my eyes dark at night
Ripping the wounds which had disappeared from sight 
A Pillow drenched in my plight my throat chokes on the emotions I fight
I see the shadows 
I see my soul
Like a spectator i watch my life go
In that blackness and emptiness I let go
Of all the tears once withhold 
I talk to my demons I let them crawl in my bed 
when the night is dark 
and I'm filled with dread
Strong and Happy in front of my friends 
I be myself in shadows I bred.
