A box outside
A box for my
Heart in its varied size

A box inside
A box for my
Mind and all it's eyes

6 steps away
Enough to embrace
Safety without the pain

Steel but rusted spine
Guts that can't decide
Faults in my design

Pieces of me
Trying to find recovery
In a place where you won't
Judge me

Intimidating
The world is lately
So I try to give it time
Hoping it won't ruin mine

A box of whine
A box divine
While I appempt to recombine
I'm sick. I can't sleep. I want to crawl inside a box.

An inseparable companion

Caused by the interception of light

A comparative darkness

That is crystal clear in hindsight

Like the soul dictates a person

A shadow’s bed is made

From dawn to dusk, its fate is ******

into a merciless grave

For a shadow is dependent

On the laws of light

& It’s movement is restricted

To it’s suburbanite.

Its fleeting fate is understood

& yet it goes ignored

I wonder if the shadow could

End the misery it endures

Because as the day persists

Shadows continuously change

This lack of self must be felt

with a tremendous sense of pain

So as the shadow dwindles down

To the object it draws near

The entity becomes unbound

As night reclaims the hemisphere

Therefore, a life is worth the strife

The truth shall be unveiled

A shadow’s love for the night

Is one that will always prevail
