Creeping Shadow

"I understand" "Let me help you" Wooed addiction..."I'm your friend" "I'll always be right here"...(Lurking) A wolf/sheep's clothing blend Each morning, your demons find you Dwelling on unfinished dreams The Creeping Shadow preys on weakness...Swarming Silencing your screams There's no escape! The monsters rise up! Shadow's poison dulls your pain Must crawl into the darkness...Creeping Craven hostage, drink my vein Shadow demands you follow! Darkened passage charms your shame Past mistakes, unrelenting...Shaking Consuming guilt Exploiting blame Because... Life's atrocities find a way...Twisting Corrupting all who lay Whether the perpetrator or the victim Carves the spirit out, to slay But... Every so often, hear it...Alluring A soft echo drifts in air A voice gently hovers...Intriguing Arousing hope, inside despair Listen... "I understand!" "Let me help you!" A distant whisper weeps Begging you, hear these words...Insisting 'Let go! What addiction keeps" Because... Your denial feeds the torment All the lying seals your bond Awaken deadened feelings...Fight!! Trust yourself, to look beyond So... Choose a life! Not...Enslavement Unlock the truth, exposure gives Take a chance on yourself...Deserving Knowledge serves, so achievement lives And... It's only in you, to see them Lurking in the corners, lies you've told Truth is power against your weakness...Strengthening Your mind...Take back control Then... Tell others, your silent darkness Addiction doesn't define, nor seal your fate Maybe someway, somehow...Victorious Creeping Shadows bonds can break
