Shadow of a Nightmare

This poem was thought of a long time ago but it wasn't until today I finally decided to put my thoughts into words And came up with this poem I coined the Shadow of a Nightmare term as i

I'm Not Too Sure

What My Future Holds For Me...

These Broken Tired Hands Can't Build A Thing...

Went From A Cage I Created

To A Hell Your God Made...

I Can't Let Go Of The Pain I Caused

It Signifies Instability

Why Can't I Just Walk Away

I'm Trying Everything I Can 

But I'm The Shadow Of A Nightmare

I Walk With The Darkness 

Claimed By Hate

I've Come To Terms With The Fact Some Of You Will Never Believe I'll Change...

This Pain I've Caused ...

Has Such A Dark Serenity To It 

From Days Of Causing Chaos

To Nights Of Shame And Remorse

I Walk With The Darkness 

And Now That Darkness Is Baiting Me Down The Road To My Own Death

Can't Let Go Of My Hatred For Myself

Cause I'm The Shadow Of A Nightmare

I Burned A Building Down And Started My Own War

I Walk With The Darkness 

I Cry Over My Severed Wings of Innocence

And Scream At The Chains Of Guilt That Hold Me Down

I Walk With The Darkness

Cause I'm The Shadow Of A Nightmare...
