Lurking Shadow Quotes

“Your struggle is real. Your pain is real. If it’s keeping you up at night, it’s real. Only you, my dear, know how you feel.”
― Khadidja Megaache, Lurking Shadow

“I overcame my fear of loneliness when you showed me how lonely I can be when you’re around.”

“Isolated and withdrawn,
Crowded room, but she was alone.
Like a seashell,
Her body was there,
Her soul was gone.”
― Khadidja Megaache, Lurking Shadow

“Ashamed to avow my sins,
A burden mine alone to bear,
Broken beyond repair,
Baptized in gold to fill the cracks,
Restless nights, Velour gowns turning to sacks
No amount of gold brings relief,
Debased by lies and deceit,
Beg for forgiveness,
And you shall be forgiven,
He, who knows all, saw underneath my veneer,
A pain, a woe played for deaf ears,
I beseech my lord to forgive my misdeeds abhorred,
Let my midnight scribble turn into beautiful word.”
― Khadidja Megaache, Lurking Shadow

“Guilt was a thorny carpet
Laid on the ground I walked on.
Repent and redeem,
No vile soul feels a disesteem.
Whispers filling my head,
Too loud to ignore,
Pills upon pills I swallowed them all,
For a brief stolen moment,
I dove into an ocean of a blissfully quiet oblivion.
A hollow elm,
A wingless butterfly,
A shadow of what was once I.”
― Khadidja Megaache, Lurking Shadow
