Shadows in the Night


Hidden, by words unsaid

Shadowed, by the people all around

Scared by the feelings of hurt.

Who told you,

who let you think it was okay,

to judge me,

to pretend like you know me?

The star in the darkness, 

surrouded by shadows and unforgetble notions.

Risen from flames of vitality,

a life dawned from the darkest pit of livelyhood. 

She smiles, that unforgettable smile,

she laughs as if she were breathing 

her last breath.

Amusing, loved by all around her,

until she wasn't.

Forced from happiness from the light she adored,

she hid herself in the shelter of darkness.

She found herself under the dark night,

and she was the last star shinning.
