Nemesis

I cannot turn around,
I cannot run away,
I cannot hide..

For me,
there lies no escape,

haunting me,
is a nemesis,
that is my own...
Not a shadow unknown.

The beseeching cry of my own soul,
mirroring,
the sighs of my bleeding innocence
lying stabbed,
with daggers wrought,
in the fire of the sins that were my own.

In life the so called sins fade away as you look back at them after years gone by :)

I really love the soul of the thought. The idea of being haunted by your own self is something very familiar - and so I can appreciate this even more.
I didn't know you write so well - will be here more often :)

Thanks for sharing!
