SHADOWLAND

 

I've roamed around

these darkened streets

for many melancholy hours.

Lost

in a place I feel light

as forsaken.

There are only shadows here,

reminding me

of what color and life

used to be.

There is only the eerie sound

of wind rustling through

the enormous trees above me.

Making me feel

small and vulnerable.

I feel as though

I've melted into this darkness

around me

becoming a shadow as well-

of the girl I truly am.

Leaning into its cold arms

just waiting to embrace me.
