Looking to the shadows
Of my imprisoned soul
I fight the feelings there
But they still take hold
A heart made of stone
Shatters dreams made of glass
And my world crashes down
Into a blackened mass
Fear resides within me
I can't seem to let it go
Playing for the devil
This evil seed still grows
Removed from it's sheath
A dagger's cold steel blade
Take away the poison
Coursing through my veins
Crimson tears are flowing
For the world to see
The pain welled up inside
Will not let me be
Reaching to the darkness
Afraid of what I know
I let myself slip away
Into the unknown
In this state of silence
Where my mind can not by free
Know these darkened shadows
Are forever haunting me

Great poem. I really like the flow on this, it just spills out with rhythem and harmony. Nice imagery, too. Awesome poem. I especially loved the last lines, "Know these darkened shadows
Are forever haunting me" Well done, if ya ask me. Good luck!
