Shadow Racing

Shadow Racing 8-19-08

 

I see my shadow in you

I just want to be inside your mind

To know what you're emotions are

To feel the pain that you have endured

You are the only thing that mattered to me

During a time when nothing else mattered

I was too sick to understand

My shadow walks alone now

Blinded by fear and angst

I'm so tired of my racing thoughts

So tired of not letting go of haunted memories

I've spent a lifetime trying to fix myself;

A never ending roller coaster ride

Silent screams take over my mind

My shadow runs and hides

All I can do is sit on the floor and cry

I am in a long dark hallway

I can see my shadow on the wall

Waiting to escape thousands of memories

I have committed myself to this place of darkness

For so long I've done nothing but run away

Racing against time with time on my side

I pull the plug and I wait for my next life

No more memories to deal with; no more crying myself to sleep

I am silently awake…
