Shadows In Darkness

Walking through this world of darkness I see the shadows that position themselves In the depths of my soul Not knowing where they came from Never understanding why they are here How can they show themselves against the dark of night? With no light to shine my way, how long must I be here? I keep searching for the answers in hopes to rid them Taking another step I stumble I see before me a broken heart A fragile mind then appears scarred from wounds from long ago I feel the sting of reality as the shadows fade into reflections of times passed
