they rose from the anguish of the soul
in an instant of morbid pain
and they have kept him haunted
he walks like a zombie
trying to escape the wrath they inflict
like true ghosts, they cannot be seen
but by the one who is haunted.
They concoct ethereal images of despair
string of events with cause and effect
the cause often misunderstood
the effect that doesn't seem to heal
tortured soul asking for reprieve
everything in sight,broken and shattered
logic defied by slew of perspectives
they show up when least expected
and draw the life force out of him
he is happy in a moment of ignorant bliss
and the next moment finds him in abyss
triggered by thoughts he cannot control
powered by mind he cannot fight
They dance around him
like long shadows around a bonfire
fire of his soul flickers
by the constant pokes from these shadows
and he loses the will to live
