Static Sea

Do you see these shadows?
Oh how they follow us
They linger in the darkness
Until they become us

We are the shadows of our fear
Lost in a static sea
We remain
Stagnant and sound asleep

Paralyzed on the shores of distant memories
We fall farther from ourselves and vanish into this darkness

The sun is rising
The darkness has disappeared
But I can't seem to escape these shadows that follow us
