Its claws

Grip at me 

In the dark

A sentient 

Shadow

Scratching my

Skin

Leaving scars

Leaving pain

Behind in 

Sharp

Pinpricks 

Inner turmoil

Disappearing 

For a moment

 is 

This what I am 

For

A simple

Puppet

For a 

Darker 

Sadder

Stronger

Force


Attention seeker

Is

What 

I am

When the cuts heal

And the

Scars

Are left

And they won’t 

Lighten

And it's

Warm

And i

Can’t 

Be trapped

In an

Eternal 

Winter with 

Its armor 

That shields this

Ugly

Revelation from

The world


The blood rolls 

Down my arm

A route for

The pain

The anguish

The words

Unsaid and

Unheard

Is there

Something wrong 

With 

Me
