Darkness

As I walked the halls I could feel it creeping over me

I checked my shoulders but no was there to see

I could feel it lurking in my shadow

As I walked past a window and saw my reflection

I didn't recognize the person that was staring back at me

I had hidden myself for far to long

To even know who I really was

Day in and day out I just passed through the crowd

The curtain had fallen and I was on the opposite side of everyone else

Completely

Utterly

Alone

Even from myself
