Black as shadows, black as night
All around but not in sight
Crying, whispering in your ear
It’s something you will always hear
Do you think you know me yet?
I’m in you now I know we’ve met
Look in the mirror and you will see
That you are staring back at me
Still don’t know? That just won’t do
You’re staring at a mask of you
I’m the secrets in your mind
I’m the mask to make them blind
You’ve been so tired I’ll tell you why
The more I grow the more you lie
The more you lie the more I eat
Keeping me is such a feat
I’ll eat and eat and eat away
Until you wake one lonely day
And find that I’m all that’s left in you
And the mask is now the real you

I liked it, thought it was very well written and the rhyme scheme was good but the=ought that rhyming you and you in the last 2 lines sorta crippled it, would advise changing one or the other, suggest saying something of how the lie has become true.
