Show Yourself


In the shadow of a person, I saw you Heads down; melancholic aura Following every step of the same person; bright or dark Never looked up, never seen light Danger nor safety, don't care As long as your following her Her shadow that made you belittle yourself Her shadow that once gave you happiness But made you wretched The shadow you didn't notice your following You are that shadows light, show yourself Embrace your flaws and emotions Find light in the shadow of others But don't get hypnotised by the darkness
