Shadows of Oblivion (Demons of the Night VI)

I’m the ghost running, scared of your night

Scared of disappearance and frightened of your light

I’m the ghost running scared of being seen

Scared of being dead; having your ability to breathe

I’m the ghost of the shadow that creeps in your flesh

I’m the wild thought buried in disguise

I’m the sought freedom but remaining unsaid

I’m the sound screaming in the far away depths

I’m your shadow

I’m the ghost of the shadow that you’re scared to meet

Scared to know it’s you, scared to know it’s breathing

I’m the thought that you bury deep down in disguise

In a level near oblivion, in your unconscious mind

I’m your shadow

I’m the shadow of the ghost of your shadow

Crawling in your alternative skin

Shunned by your reality and shredded by your guilt

I’m the mind you refuse to admit

I’m your freedom

I’m the salvation you yearn for and seek

I’m the unspoken word lurking to speak

I’m the shadow that fought against your oppression 

And fighting still

I’m the “Demon” that will take over your existence

I’m your “untamed head” and “wretched mind”

I’m your “corrupted heart” and “decaying instincts”

I’m purer than you are and the most innocent

I’m the innate nature that you smash against the wall

All grown up and developed and now asking for more

I'm all the strengths that you are unable to contain

I’m the unspoken world now learning to speak

I’m the relentless warrior fighting still

I’m the ghost of your shadow only embracing existence

I AM FREEDOM
