Dark Shadows

Look Deeper

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I hate how easy

Everything is to replace

And how often I do it

Before it’s time

I have hollowed me out

And already filled me up

And it was easy

So easy, it aches

And my darkness?

That’s the worst part

I’m so talented

No one will ever know

How easy it is to hide in the light

They’re too busy looking at my shadow

Convinced it’s as dark as I get
