Superior Shadows

by Natalie84   Jan 21, 2008


In the midst of felony
A hidden piece of me
Quietly speaks out
Warnings of error
Shouting from within my soul

A savior's attempt
At redeeming virtue
Never goes unheard
Silently I hope
For an angelic shadow
To cast an innocent silhouette

Unfortunately for reality
A greater force of gloom
Takes control of me
My body drenched
In sinful perfume
The scent of crime
Rapt upon my skin

Another tainted day
Yet another offense
Another wasted attempt
At overpowering
This superior shadow

I can not conquer evil
For it is stronger than I
The spirit of vice
Has crept within
Stealing all innocence
That ever existed

This battle against
My very own shadow
Can not be beat
I'm exhausted from fighting
Painfully I must admit defeat
Shadows of evil
Have won the war
