Shadows of Life

Folder: 
My poems

I stand in the shadows of life
Hiding from the painful truths
Those i once called friends
Are now the cause of my pain
I stand in the shadows of life
Trying to stay unscathed
For those who once brought me joy
Are now to blame for my scars
I stand in the shadows of life
Alive but not really living
Wondering "Why do i have to feel this way?"
Just wishing my pain would go away
