Unmasking the Shadows

Seems like yesterday with a pinch of today,

Feeling strange yet familiar,

Vast eyes, empty soul and a deserted heart,

But still she had to run,never walk,never rest,

For the cries behind her were deeper than the yells within her.

The losing herself,

Like a caged bird with no light,

Like a thread without a sewer,like a well without water,

But a drop couldn't taint her river,

The devils lurking behind her like a roar in the dark.

Her weapon was her pills,

The daily dose of her life,

The judging eyes ahead of her road,

The whispers of silence in the empty room,

The corpse within her.

This was her fight,fears her victory, the last warrior of her kind,

The return of herself,

Three years was all worth,

The soaring eagle,a penny in the light,

May that she was,a light to all .
