Stolen friend

The light is blinding and the shadow overwhelming 
The high energy of light bombarding my eyes,
Distorts into excruciating agony
And the shadow takes over within

A contrast so great between the world outside And my inner self
So much light attacking me from all directions 
But not a single ray entering inside
Just reflecting off me and making my every move so blatantly obvious 
Yet going entirely unnoticed by you.

The gears are still turning but at a different pace
No longer trying to win the race
The silence came slowly, unnoticed 
Until before I knew it I was the centre of a black hole
Unable to escape, unable to cry out for help

Like a frog in a pot with the water getting slowly hotter,
Of silence I was unaware until there was no sound left
And the shadows I chased turned around and ate me
Hidden away from the light, still in the midst of it all
Yet going entirely unnoticed by you.
