Dark shadows are looming.
I can feel them.
pushing me backwards
My life lacks direction,
only wishes, but they
don't come to fruition.
I'm trapped in darkness.
People don't see the real me.
my senses are gone
neither does my wisdom
as if someone
had collected my brain.
dark shadows
separates me from a decent life
My thoughts are
no longer aligned with me.
Is this depression?
My luck has run out.
my existence, anoy folks
I don't even know
how shadows came.
My life seemed normal before,
not anymore,
blessedness seized me
slowly every day.
no progress in my life
How do I overcome it?
dark shadows!

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?
