Among the Shadows – a poem about……….

My heart and mind were torn in two leaving splinters of me in the dirt fighting desperately for breath slowly suffocating in a world of ignorance.

I tried to hide among the shadows because nobody would listen to my story they simply watched as I imploded none of them appeared to care.

No one noticed when I forced a smile since I was clearly healthy when I tried to explain how I felt they mocked me for being weak.

I’m not afraid any more though for love has caressed my fragile mind helping me to follow the path I need through the darkness and into the light.
