Description
When I’m alone, the shadows call to me
Whispering sweet words, beckoning me forth
I am promised many things if I follow
I am never aware that they’re lies.
Like a child, I stumble forward
Following the honey-covered lies
My hands blindly reaching, grasping for that curtain of truth
I always pull back empty hands
Reaching out again, I’m more experienced
I test the waters and tread carefully
The shadows still call
Singing sweet songs softly in my ear
I tilt my head to the right to hear their lyrics more clearly
And then I’m swept away
Taken to a new world
Still not aware that it’s false
Then I begin falling, so very fast
Drowning in the endless ocean of false promises
The voices begin hissing, screeching
They’re saying something so terrible I want to block them out but I can’t
I must hear their words, the truth breaking through the lies
They tell me I am worthless, manipulative, and above all: a failure
I scream pushing their words from my mind
Trying to find the small amount of good still left in me
But tiredly, I give in
Succumbing to the shadowy darkness
