In The Shadows

In the shadows sits a child,
Left alone for the wild.
He sits and wait’s but nobody comes,
All he hears is the drums.
The drums of insanity beating away,
A game too dangerous for his mind to play.
Even in his mind, there sits the knife,
Calling out, endangering his life.
It makes him mad; that want to cut,
He thinks hard to find his but…
A 'what if' that fits,
To be rid of this nightmare there’s no button to hit.
No something to save him,
Till his lights grow dim.
It’s time to leave now,
Don't question how.
No goodbye,
He will not lie…
