“Shadows”
He wasn’t really
in control
of his feelings
today
he didn’t understand
why
but he just
couldn’t get
out of the
shadows
of his
thoughts,
which were
full
of gloom
and depression,
they just
followed him
around
just waiting
to smother out
the life
of any
good feelings
or thoughts
that might be
able to
crawl out from
under
the heavy dark
curtain
that was
hanging around
his mind.
He was thrown
a few
kind words
from a casual
friend
with caring
eyes
that really
tried to
bring a smile
to his face
but those words
were quietly
lead away,
taken to a
backroom
in his mind
and beaten,
in till
their was no
good
left in them
anymore
after which
they were just
left
to wander
aimlessly around
in his mind
bumping into
the other
deprogrammed
thoughts
of good
that now had
nowhere left
to go,
just waiting for
the darkness
to fill them up
with pain
and despair
turning them
back into
thoughts
again
only now
dark ones,
then sending them
on their way.
He wasn’t
in control
of his feelings
today,
he just hoped
tomorrow
would be
different…
