Shadows


I’m in the shadows

I’m back stage

Even backstage in my life

Walking in shadows so no one can see the tears

Walking with blood running down

Down I’m my heart I’m confused 

Words not directed at me yet, I feel like they are somehow talking about me

“They are so great” they say. Yet I’m standing next to them and I am never said hi to

The shadows are not always friend

I do love the sun and the warmth

Some days the shadows never get me to follow with them 

Yet somedays I’m too tired to fight

To tired to care

Care about myself 

But I will always care for others

Even if I’m in the shadows 

Others are first, I am last

No problem there

I’m like a little spider that hides when fearful 

I’m like an angle that brings comfort to others,

I’m no Spider-Man, I don’t have a mask to hide my fears, but the mask on the inside hides everything 

Never seen but always welcomed

Sometimes I’m simply in the shadows

 

The shadows can be good

But not always 

Not in a forced way

Don’t force me to the shadows because if your off guard 

Off prepared 

They the shadows will show their teeth

They will swallow you like a symbeot 

Don’t mess with venom

For he likes to lerk in the shadows

But he will eat you and change you 

Covering you in black 

And once on, it takes a team to take it off 

But do not only worry about venom 

One of a more darkest power lerks in the dark 

His name is satan

He wants to recruit you in to his dark army

To fight the light

So, if you ever find yourself in the shadows 

Stay on guard

Try to fight for the sun 

The son is what will set you free

For the son is full of light and life

Seek the son 

Not the shadows
