My Shadow

I tell this tale,
From deep within.
A roaring demon,
Jumped out of my skin.
It scared the life,
Back into me,
It followed again,
With pain and misery.

There's a shadow stalking me,
Where only my eyes can see.
It hides behind every unlocked door,
I am gonna settle the score.

Hatred I have,
For every evil thing.
Yet I find,
Sometimes I sing.
Of the things I hate,
But some adore.
I'm trying to hide,
But still there is more, to life...

Why, O Lord, does it chase me?
Why, O Lord, did it overtake me?
