Phantom Poetry

Hidden Secrets

The darkness surrounds me

I like it that way.

No one can see my face

I want it that way.

There's no other way to be

No other way to live.

There's no other way to stop the chase

Nothing else to give.

I cover the scars

With white shame

I cover myself

I give up my name

Just leave me here

I want to die.

I refuse to try

To stay alive.
