Why I Cann'T See My Shadow

The world use to taste like oyster's, and my hunger reflect the possible. "Why I cann't see my shadow, cause my destiny goes forward, into the Impossible". Been out and about for too long, all within me are sad songs. I can not see my shadow, trying not to look back leave's me constanily along. "Along to face the battle's, the battle's of, Why I cann't see my shadow's". Its Been a long journey, this road that leads to homeliness and despair. A road without future endeaver, a road I wouldn't reccomment to noone, a road with danger, a road were noone care's. Drug's are not for everyone, either is hardluck. I wonder if tomorrow will there be provision for all to make a "buck". ($$) 'Yes-yess..(yess).... I been so-down lately, No my spirit is of the sanity of being poor. "Why I cann't see my shadow, cann't explain it, even if answer's of crying to feel the world, is in response once more. Been so-down lately, Why want oppourtunity come knocking at my back-door. Not the front, no dare not make others think, favors is clearily my best friend. When I am ashame to face the world today, my shadow will not follow me, when I am weak, and excuse's are to no end, then I do see a shadow, but it is the shadow of someone who once was a "friend". The world use to taste like marshmellow's, and I didn't have to beg. The job market was plentiful and so was happiness and worshippers to no bitter end. "Why cann't I see my shadow", there is joy at the end of the rainbow. "Why I cann't see my shadow", are the pain in my life so severe. One day I know I will get back up, One Day (when) it happen, maybe I will be there to see if my shadow is able to show my tear(s)...
