Affliction of the mind

Feeling empty naked alone with dark emotion unwanted poking at you sticking not appealing you push it away but it follows you

those dark empty all-too-familiar feelings it's a shadow it's cold it's gray something in your night terrors

 it's never left you alone it's there to stay it's a reminder of all your failures and errors

 is it something inside of you deep in your conscious mind?

 is it something you wear on your sleeve is it one of the first things you find?

 Is it something that you will leave your presence in due time?

 is it something that you bargained for and now your in a bind?

Tell me friend cause I need to know

It's to the point I'm certain it's starting to grow,

Into something so big, I might get entangled in its pain.

It's making me lose everything, putting me to shame

On my face like an expression

It's leaving a bad impression

I question  its true intention
