Alone in a world,
overcrowded as this,
is a foreign concept
to the blissfully ignorant.
For they do not realize the shadows,
creeping behind them,
the masks people put on every day
to hide who they really are.
They are free, mucking about,
their world untouched by the darkness.
Oh, how i envy them.
Woe to the aware, to the alive,
to the observant,
to the ones who notice these shadows,
this darkness,
this evil.
