Shadow Who Stepped Into The Light
I was the kid who was stuck in the shadows
Left and right, others went and did nothing with me,
just step on me and ignoring my existence
Comedy is not my forte
but I was viewed as a joke
With no voice to defend myself
I was there in the shadows
Something ticked within me
I did not want to be forgotten like the shadows
that linger to some people
I needed people to know that I am here
and here to stay
I knew that I can be the person to rise up
to those who had that doubt to me
to those who never acknowledged me
to those who just did not give me the chance to be me, myself and I
I am that person who takes the past
twists and turns it to create a whole new me
Changing and evolving from the darkness that always covered me
stepping into the light that makes the shadow around me go away
I am the person who makes up who I am
the shadow that haunted me has now became a friend to me
who I will look for guidance when the times are tough
as well as a memory that changed me for the better
I am a strong individual who changes from the shadows into the light
