My Shadow I feel you there, You are my shadow You keep me company, Even when I cannot feel you. You help me to stay safe, You protect me from others, You keep the loneliness away. We were once one in life, Now we are separated by death. You are my twin now gone, A ghost that stands guard. You wait for me, I live for you. May you know life through me, May I know death through you. We shall be one again, together in death. I feel you there, You are my shadow, Waiting for me.

Voices Inside me is a realm. Inside me there are many voices. Each voice is different, Each voice is demanding, Demanding control over me. My battle is to remain me, Whole and in control. They grow stronger each day, Each voice has its own level of strength. I only pray I will remain stronger, For I fear of being drowned out. Should even one grow stronger, I would be lost, ripped apart and split. I have no anchor, only myself. For no one knows my voice, No one knows the true me.

Ghost You only let me catch glimpses of you, You only let me hear whispers, But I know you are there, Listening to me scream and cry, As my world collapses. I feel a breath, a cold hand, Small comforts of a ghost, But it is enough to know I am not alone. You give me strength and a need, When I can not live for me, I live for you. Childhood slips past, I am shoved into adulthood, Yet you let me dream, Dream of you, dream of us, Small gifts of ghosts, But is it enough for me, You are my shadow in another world.
