Shadow Children
Location
we are the shadow children.
only hazy images of what we used to be.
imperfect
stretched
faceless
boring
there was a time when all we wanted
was to be perfect
skinny
smart
beautiful
talented
we worked ourselves till there was
nothing left but shadows.
disgraced
ignored
pathetic
disappointments.
sometimes we talk about life
before our monsters destroyed us.
laughter
color
A-B-C
elemenopee
no one wants us anymore
we're kind of the town freaks
spectacles
jesters
avoided
hated
that's why we shadow children stick together.
no one else will have us
