In the Shadows
By Bryan Kersey

Out of sight lurks a monster so horrid.
Everyday it gets harder to rid.
There's nowhere to hide from it,
so here I remain; here I sit.
I let it eat me away piece by piece.
It grows bigger and bigger with steady increase.

In the shadows lurks a monster of me.
It's coming closer; no chance of flee.
It feeds on my emotions; it takes them away.
He collects them himself for use...
