The Shadows in My Mind

Every waking moment,
Every single breath,
It's watching me,
Tormenting me to death.

Unable to run,
Unable to hide,
It's mocking me,
For every time I've cried.

It's telling me,
That I'm just too weak,
And if I give in,
I'll get what I seek.

But I don't believe it,
It's all lies,
Yet it tempts me to cut all ties.

I'll be released,
I'll be set free,
It tells me that soon I shall see.

I fear the moment,
When it speaks truth,
It'll be the day,
That I die a youth.
