SHADOWS

Shadows all around

Knocking on the door

Trying to find a way in

To gather all my sins

Crawling on the floor

Grabbing at my feet

Twisted and bleak

They slowly sneak

Hiding in the corners

I can see them shift

Sadistically surmising

Wet smiles devising

Living in eyes

Gray tinted envy

So ashen, so plain

Flashing disdain

Shadows all around

Jealous of the prisms

Refracting my light

Life so beautifully bright
