The shadows creep around me <br />As I lay awake <br />I hear their voices call my name <br />Are they just fake? <br />I feel an eerie presence <br />almost like a ghost <br />yet I feel as if I’m alone <br />alone in a world of passing shadows <br />alone in a world where there is only hate and rejection <br />alone in a world where we are taught to hate <br />alone in a world where everyone is the same <br />alone in a world that doesn’t care <br />alone in a world where I’m only a freak <br />alone in a world where I’m just a girl <br />a girl who never loves and never hates <br />a girl who thinks even the simplist things are fake<br /><br />Coup De' Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-shadows-9/
