In the dark places of my being, I hide my deepest fears. I bury my regret  my hatred and my dark desires. I keep the places shut up tight, so that they cannot see the light of day. I battle with my demons both when I am awake and in my dreams. When I sleep I go to my darkest desires and live what in reality would be another persons nightmare. I walk into the shadows of my soul and wake in a cold sweat. I take the feelings into the waking world, where I struggle to keep them in check, now knowing what might slip out. I can only keep the lid tightened down so long, before what lies in the shadows of my soul will find it's way out. Then all of my secrets will be made manifest as the shadows of my soul open to the light.
