My looming shadow, so dark with despair
Creeps up without warning, it’s just not fair
Never enough rest, my fatigue lingers on
Stealing precious time, till the moment I’m gone
I feel like the Tin Man, unbendable and stiff
The pain is unbearable, hang onto hope, a cure, yes, the “what if”
But for now there is no end to this war inside that I fight
Silent tears I do cry, if you could only understand, my health is my plight
No one asks for this burden; trust when I say
I fake feeling good, just to make it thru the day
I’ve had enough of shrugs, cock-eyed looks, assuming lies
If you walked in my shoes, you could only despise
Yourself and your judgement, all tangled in spite
Yet I will never give up, this long lonely fight
Here in the darkness, this shadow clings on
Till I’ve run out of energy, and the moment is gone
Fading back into sleep, where I dream I can fly
Despite this dark shadow, among the clouds in the sky
Let me dance here forever, there is peace in this rest
I promise to never give up, and always do my best
Some battles will be won, while many others are lost; “friends”, careers, identity….’who am I? ‘
I am the one with the shadow
Invisible Me
Standing strong till the end
Right here I will be
Dream, Live, Do and never give up hope.
