Days, days and days pass, something I can’t control. no matter how far I reach now hard I pull my grasp can’t last my quilt fingers disarray detangle. Days become a week, I welcome weakness. I remember when I got my Piggy. he was not a football and I was too afraid to show I care. I aM tOo olD fOr a StuFfeD aNiMAl I bellowed to the corridors of darkness I dare not to tread on. in those corridors I admit I love my Piggy, but not more than my ego. Weeks. Weeks. Months. Shadows appear in their worst form purposely; pure. Shadows are a reminder there’s things I try to hide things I try attempt to forget, things I cannot address. Months, to a year. I can say I miss my youth, but that would admit I was wrong, and thus I cannot look back. Years. Where has the time gone. Where has my joy gone. A smile fades into the shade. I hate to keep you waiting. I hate to keep you waiting for when I can look back at moments elapsed and not feel disgust , not be afraid to care, but that would mean I would have to do more than shout into the corridors of darkness that surround my mind, and thus the life I want to express hides, in the surrounding shadows I suppress.
