obscured vision

shes searching for the opening
that will lead her to escape
she passes by it daily
not knowing where its hid

she stumbles in the darkness
but doesnt let herself fall
she continues on this journey
of searching for her escape

she knows that once she has fallen
she wont be able to get back up
the darkness will sweep over her
as it washes completely away...

her soul

I'm going to be completely honest and say that this didn't really do much for me... the story was told rather blandly when compared with some of what you have written in the past.  I personally don't think this is the best that you have done at all.  
Don't be discouraged, just a personal opinion.     Maybe a hint of rhyme would help, or if you were to go back and reword using poetic techniques like similie and metaphor, or improve your imagery a bit.  
If you wish to work on this, improve the quality of each line.  Take more time to polish this up.

I enjoyed it. Quite to the point, but enjoyable.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Tiff -- you should always get up
Never give up on anything
Thanks for the beautiful read

So long lives this, and this give life to thee."  W.S.
