Shadows
Shadows.
As the sun moves,
it stretches our souls across the ground.
Making them visible to the world,
though they don't know what they're seeing.
They can't see the walls you've built
the stone and reinfoced steel walls that gaurd,
to keep out the pain. They can't see, the memories
the people that have brought you here.
But shadows are temporary and changing
they vary from day to day
the memories will always remain
but their effect doesn't have to stay.
Let people see you smile in the sunshine
and dance in the light
keep the dark of your soul behind you
and think of it only in the night.
It is good to remember what brought you this far
but let it fade to be nothing more than a scar
something you carry, but that has no weight
let it fade like your shadow
at the end of the day
