In Her Shadow


















In her shadow she sees herself as in a negative
Darkly haunted, burning from the inside out
Covered in itches she cannot scratch
She crawls through the layers of earth, trapping her below
She thinks that with each clutch she will break free
But the earth holds her tighter, like a possessive lover
Tempting her to stay buried
