fighting to escape darkness <br />shadows reel me back in <br />echoing taunts of weakness <br />presenting me with a knife <br />bending to the command <br />a slave to the dagger in hand <br />as i drag it across my skin <br />bringing forth crimson release <br />blood flows from my veins <br />dropping the blade in shame <br />deafening silence surrounds <br />shadows retreating to corners <br />watching with unforgiving eyes <br />as darkness consumes again<br /><br />Silentpoet Grl<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shadows-177/
