Life Under the Shadow


Life under a shadow

So dark and so cold.

Life behind the scenes

Can get boring and old.

We all want to be in the spotlight 

Not the one pulling the curtain.

We want people to see our talents

The results of hard working. 

One day it all change

We usually tell ourselves.

But it just seems to remain the same

No matter how many times we ask for help.
