The Shadow

He sits A lonely shadow Tortured by his own mind Isolated by choice A lost soul Longing to be understood His heart is darkened by sorrow The depths of despair he now knows He wears a mask To hide his true feelings Does not dare to think about the truth From his own thoughts he cannot escape He feels regret Unimaginable pain Silent screaming Night and day No one will hear No one can help He sits A lonely shadow A shell of the man he once knew
