-Afraid Of My Own Shadow-

Disturbances all around me, the shaking commences,

Yet to find me, please help remove these trenches,

Not me from within, if not myself, where have I been?

Seemingly lost once more, allowing panic through my door,

Is this everlasting? The pain, the fear, the thrashing,

This endless fight, these endless battles,

Fear sets in, I’m afraid of my own shadow.
