You never failed to despise the wounds on your own
you tried to run to turn away
finding only shadows in the shade of an ideal
an idea far greater than it actually was
just a name just a name whispering in the shadows of your heart
echoing in the dark
you tried to run to turn away
but here you are
starring in the mirror
still in the shadows
still waiting for him
still torturing your innerself to be like him
crawling beneath expectations
fighting a hardening foam
