The Shadow In Our Minds
By Teresa Stuart
Among a world of people, not all is what it seems
For there is one lone figure, who does what it please
There is no name and there is no body
It’s a thought in the head that seems kind of foggy
It is dark, it is sad and sometimes makes you a little mad
The hold it takes can be so strong
That whatever you do it cannot be gone
A thing that can only be described as hidden little shadow in the back of your mind
Staying out of sight, especially at night
It hides under beds giving us a fright
As it takes a stronger hold
We lose our ambitions and personal goals
Emotions and feelings that are hide to describe making you want to run and hide
While right now it has it eyes set on you
There is no discrimination on who next it will choose
For it likes to drain the light from all that it sees
Almost dropping us down on our knee’s
It is powerful, it is mean
A hold of depression or anxiety it seems
With each passing moment the shadow grows bigger
Changing our loved ones, those we hold dearest
It is nourished and feeds on negative thoughts
Can change an entire city in just one main course
As darkness grows larger, people lose hope it creates relationships unable to cope
While right now it seems all doom and gloom
There is a shining light that continues to bloom
As the light grows larger from those who show they care
The shadow now sees it’s not just it there
For more acts of kindness, understanding and support
Show many people there’s somebody in their court
Hope of peace and positives lives, takes the shadow by surprise
For the control its had is beginning to fade
Losing control of its ragging campaign
As the light grows brighter, the shadow starts to shrink
A moment of change that makes the people stop and think
When people have a more positive wellbeing
They feel like they can go out and achieve their dreams
While we know that the shadow may never completely leave
Its hold on our lives, will no longer be
For we are in charge of our thoughts and our minds and will no longer be caught by surprise
