Shadows
January 18, 2023
Watching from the shadows. Never stepping into the light. That’s not for me. They deserve it. I don’t. Leave them be. You’re fine.
Sadness. Losing hope. Everyone is happy, everyone except me.
Loneliness.
Slowly dying, giving up. Stifled cries. Fake smiles. A facade that no one knows about. Muffled cries for help. Guilt. Blood. Tears. Screams and cries. Ignored. Fire. Panic. Alone. Contemplation. Giving up.
Pulling it together for her. The good times. Smiles. Laughter. Love. Hugs. Being loved. If I can’t live for myself, then I’ll live for her.
