Shadow Wolf

My body cringes as thoughts start to rub together sending a warm wave through me that melts the ice around my heart revealing the pain that haunts the love trying to slip through screaming for mercy as personalities grind it into a hatred that sits in the pit of my stomach I sit in a pool of doubt mourning my self-esteem as words start to bend around me trapping me in a vortex of lies that suck the light from my flame drowning my confidence in the sea of darkness contaminated by the whispers of envy and jealousy that bring me to my knees gasping for air I feel the oxygen leave my conscience as the shadows dance around me with a gravelly laugh intercepting every emotion that breaks through while breathing into me a new reflection opening my eyes to the flames on both sides of the fence exposing to me a new horizon I rise with a fractured smile taking each step with my head high learning and embracing my self-worth while watching the lies fall flat on the paper shifting my attention to building myself for the experience of a new chapter
