75. Shadows

75. Shadows

They’re lurking in the circles beneath my eyes...
Waiting for a chance to jump at my happy thoughts
And shred them into dark dreamings—indeed,
Mere shadows of their true and glorious forms.

They call to me from the formless night, saying
“Little boy, turn this way, and bend that way!
Become one with us and ours, and we will show you
The truth of horror—and how to master it.”

Leave me be, dark demons of shadow!
Let me feel the light of the sun once more,
Let me hold onto the fluffy and happy thoughts
And be free of thee and thy dark natures!

Alas, the world is heavy in my heart....
And I, being merely mortal, can do nothing on my own.

  1. So, I realize that I pretty much promised to leave an awesome comment, but... I don't feel like thinking up something awesome. c: Sorry.
    ... My main problem with this is the word "fluffy". It... doesn't feel right to me. Haha. Maybe "soft" or "warm" or something? Don't know.
