I fear a ghost has taken hold of me; I feel its presence when I tend to wake From eerie dreams that blur reality, A haunting feeling that I cannot shake. It steals from me the things I once enjoyed, And leaves an empty feeling in their place, As if my life were something to be toyed, Then left alone and broken in its case. I'm at the mercy of an angry kid Who died alone, afraid and far too young. Too scared to face his fears, he only hid, And choked upon the words stuck on his tongue. Shackled to him, I try but can't escape; To bear the burden of his sins, my fate.

"The Weight of a Ghost"
I fear a ghost has taken hold of me; I feel its presence when I tend to wake From eerie dreams that blur reality, A haunting feeling that I cannot shake. It steals from me the things I once enjoyed, And leaves an empty feeling in their place, As if my life were something to be toyed, Then left alone and broken in its case. I'm at the mercy of an angry kid Who died alone, afraid and far too young. Too scared to face his fears, he only hid, And choked upon the words stuck on his tongue. Shackled to him, I try but can't escape; To bear the burden of his sins, my fate.
