I am the shadow, fading into silence

I am the words you shoved in a box

I am blood, sex & violence

behind the symbol of peace

I am light enraptured unto the void

from a thousand years of cosmic darkness

chasing the souls of stars

I am the mirror you wish to avoid

with the tears that coiled down the drain

& the years wasted on nothing--

but what you thought was yourself...

You shift up, you shift down

Once were you there,

Now hither you are

Slow moving over time,

Moving fast in instances

The dread falls upon

Everyone you knew

Then your still,

And everything you threw

Is but real

But the delight,

Brings you back to light

And then again,

You shift up, you shift down
