The Shadow

I am a shadow, a lost soul,

Wandering through life, searching,

Searching for the illusion that is happiness,

an illusion that temps all men.

This happiness which is both a blessing and a curse.

A blessing that provides peacefulness, joy, pride and love,

a blessing that gives the soul reasons to live.

It is a curse for happiness is only temporary, an illusion,

a curse for it shows the soul what it may have but never hold.

This glimpse of happiness seen by the lost soul,

 slowly drives him apart from those around him.

Slowly it drives him mad, torturing him,

taking his mind and turning it away from life,

 and any chance of holding the illusion.

For he knows that happiness is not his to hold or to keep,

that this illusion will torture him until the day he dies.
