Dark Shadows

"I'm trapped"

Dark shadows are looming.

I can feel them.

pushing me backwards

My life lacks direction,

only wishes, but they

don't come to fruition.

I'm trapped in darkness.

People don't see the real me.

my senses are gone

neither does my wisdom

as if someone

had collected my brain.

dark shadows

separates me from a decent life

My thoughts are

no longer aligned with me.

Is this depression?

My luck has run out.

my existence, anoy folks

I don't even know

how shadows came.

My life seemed normal before,

not anymore, 

blessedness seized me

slowly every day.

no progress in my life

How do I overcome it?

dark shadows!
