Invisible Monsters
The shadows in my dream
Burning through the leaves
Shadows so disturbed
They break me from the good that I have shared
Scraping through the day
The darkness likes to play
Livelihood now gone
Leaving every place where I belonged
Tear me inside out
The shadow starts to shout
Betraying all I need
I pray for strength to lift me off my knees
Darkness in the air
Enveloping my care
Replacing all I say
With quiet paintings whispering this pain
Underneath these screams
My shadow and my dream
Both would claim my soul
But either way the world would eat me whole
