Dark Shadow Of Past

For many years I tried so hard

To live a normal life like others

But I failed to do so

Whenever I tried to forget my past

It always started haunting me from behind

I can't escape the dark shadow of past

That shadow always creeping up beside me

For many years I tried to hide my pain

But my feelings and emotions never allowed me to do so

Always fighting my battles inside and alone

I became resistant to my dark shadows

Afraid to say something and open up to the world

About my dark shadow that's ready to take my life.

Full of fear of being judged by others and misunderstood.

And I decided to hide it for the best

Though my dark shadow won't allow me to speak

Many days I cried myself to leave

Many nights I cried myself to sleep

Asking my mind and soul all this happened only to me

But I never got any answer

I just want to be a silent sufferer

Of the dark shadow that never leaves me

Even after I tried a lot

To relinquish me from my past.
