SHADOWRUNNER


Once in the light never to return...

Oh sweet light ,

used to taste the feeling of attention.

Smiled but ,

kept on runnning from myself

and the truth I fear.

ABUSED,TORTURED and LEFT out 

in th open to be trampled on .

My Mandela turned Trump

never to be seen again.

 

Kept on running,

found a friend in silence

keep on hurting myself,

never felt comfort in light

safe in the shadows.

 

INVISIBLE, running 

in your shadows 

hide for safety.

NOTHING is from the heart,

all is FAKE.

TORN APART,

'Run lost one'

they say to me 

NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN...
