I fear nothing like my own shadow.
That dark presence that lurks in my mind,
The person who pushed past the past
But was still struggling
The fast food **** up
Pre college degree dude
Who achieved nothing
But regular bouts of pain
Who simmered in sorrow
Sweating sick depression
Who swallowed so many pills
Who pushed razors in to his skin
But barely bled
Chased demons in and out of his head
Read and read and read
The lonely one
The angry one
Who lived by himself
Saw his best friend move away
Lost his grandpa
Woke up crying regularly
In remembering myself
I fear I will go back there
And be locked up
In his pain all over again
