# 58 ShadowsA Poem by Atlas JonesAnxiety can't get me if I'm a faster runner than it is.Shadows,Shadows on my wall Shadows, Shadows in the hall The shadows they are everywhere Going to where no other would dare Shadows,Shadows they follow me Shadows,Shadows that float on the breeze They creep in and get under my skin Sometimes I’m tempted to let them in Shadows,Shadows fears and anxieties are what they are Shadows,Shadows those I see are so bizarre The darkness it hurts more than they know But if I value my dignity or pride I can’t let it show Shadows,Shadows killing my hearts desires Shadows,Shadows the exact opposite of a raging fire They nip at my heart and my heels They deliver pain so real Shadows,Shadows so unfair Shadows,Shadows how they make me despair But for it all that I cannot let them in For if I do I let them win Shadows,Shadows on my walls One by one they begin to fall © 2022 Atlas Jones |
