shadows - part 3 (my photos)

i am loved

i am hated

  here

among these

shadows

i am alive

i am dead

  here

within these

crosshairs

i move an inch as

half the earth is shaking,

  falling apart

i say a word as

half the world is still,

  blinded in silence

i am useless to you

who do not know me,

  and you never will

but i am blood meal

for the shadows that crave,

  all too familiar
