Shadowed self

by *sweetheart* - Not entered

It's myself whom I despise,
can you see it there in my eyes?
light has left me, shadows remain
my emptiness words cannot explain
why do you think you can read my mind?
inside it's blank, you must be blind
blinded by who i am not, but what i seem
my life's just a clouded over dream
and i ponder how long it will take
before i'm brave enough to wake
but in my time i will bide
and in the shadow's i still hide
drowning in misery created by fate
and still practicing my self-hate

Reason for writing:

    i The feelings of loneliness and hating who i am inspire my poetry.
