The Shadow's Whisper

The Shadow's Whisper

A Poem by Kendra Stewart
"

Explanation of the monster (aka mental illnesses)

"

The shadows in my mind whisper small words,

words of daring and frightening things

 

the whispering shadows tell me of my dreams

my dreams that will never see a light

 

their whispers spin tales of their bold wishes

wishes for me to come in and play.

 

The shadows open gates and toy with my mind

my mind that breaks and bruises

 

They taunt me with remember when’s and what if’s

what if I could be normal…

 

The shadows hang their chains around my life

my life that is really theirs now.

 

They whisper what I may see, say, and do.

all black, muddled too.

would just like reviews on content and flow. Punctuation is how I would like to keep it, but I am always up to improve!
