Black Shadow & The Other me

I wake up with the intense feeling to give into the abyss
 I see this dark hungry monster feeding off the good i have left in me
Empty shell of somone who i used to be
The me who knew nothing of pain sadness death...pure innocence
This black shadow is eating away everything i have I'm getting so tired of the same old fight or flight battle everyday
Getting up everyday out of bed is a struggle
Getting ready to interact with others is another thing my mind just cant...won't let me back down
Is a quiet mind really all that peaceful?
Its like having two of me battling for this body
Other me:  says You have to fight! You can beat this..together we'll get through it
The shadow says: Just skip one more day and live in isolation once more.  
Fake it until you make it right
The smiles
The Laughter
The "Fun"
All for making the black shadow lessen
