Shadow ...
"Soul hurts.....
too much noise...
pain....
they keep wanting to know....
asking questions...
my ears bleed, because I want silence....
Not broken ...
just want to be left alone...
pain is something you live...
mine is personal....
DON'T TRY TO PET ME! I'm OK.....
I'M NOBODY'S PET!!
The silence screams enough...
don't need your words....
criticizing...
wondering...
inventing diagnostics....
claiming that you know that I am traumatized ...
BUT I JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE !
WANT TO BE MYSELF!
Need to breathe...
my air is missing because you take it from me...
drop a good word if having any, and leave me be...
what is with me and inside my soul and mind hurts enough...
but it hurts even more when you all suffocate me with assumptions, with questions, with suspicious looks! What do you think you know? What do you think you see? Nothing...
I'm just a shadow that you chase because you can't understand the way I am....
a shadow of flesh and blood and ashes...
just me..."
