Nicki Williams Sep 2014
My shadow follows me
Listens to my whispers by lending a deaf ear
Its presence gives comfort
But its the absence I fear
Powerless to make it stay
At the same time it's me myself who pushes it away
The sun comes out and it's forced to stray
And completely vanishes when its' realized love is no longer child's play
I'm left dismayed shattered and afraid
Longing for a shadow that I can't even embrace
Nicki Williams Mar 2014
Can't Sleep
Stuck between night and day
Thinking of everything
Yet nothing

Staring out into nothingness
Are my eyes closed or are they open
Holding on
While letting go

Going but going nowhere
Reaching into the depths of my mind
Trying to find the reason

Reasoning with reason
Analyzing without cause
What's the meaning of my life?
My purpose?

Help me find myself
Nicki Williams Mar 2014
Break down these walls
Let someone in
Tired of getting scared
To put my trust in

Break down these walls
Cry it all out
Feel all the pain
Let it seep out

Break down these walls
Pick yourself up
The past is behind you
Look ahead now

— The End —
