Get out of here, you evil ghosts.
You hide within me, telling me dark lies.
You make me fear the unknown,
Despair over the simplest of things.

You dark spirits, you hold me back.
My full potential hidden,
Within the darkness you fill me with.
Lost without the light you've taken.

Fear; you seep into my heart,
Clog up my mind,
So that I cannot think clearly,
Make decisions freely.

Where is my strength when needed most?
Where is the boldness that I used to hold?

All I see around me is grey.
An endless haze covers my eyes.
I don’t know where to go,
So I'm left turning circles.

Numbness pours into my bones,
Sleep completely evades me
So that there is no escaping
These endless tunnels in my mind.

Haunted; the life has left my eyes.
The darkness seeps in,
Leaving me completely blind;
There’s no where left to hide.
