Shadows
I, am haunted by shadows of my past
But I try to keep my smile,
I try everyday to find a reason to laugh.
To hide my pain.
I try to live my life to the fullest,
And share my light.
But I can't escape the darkness that creeps in.
The ghosts in my space.
I can never stop showing up,
But deep down I am broken.
Do I have anywhere to hide?
Unfortunately not, course I'm linked to them.
But, I can NEVER opt for suicide
For I believe in me.
But STILL I am haunted,
I am haunted by shadows of my past
