Dreaming In the Shadows

Darkness sheds my sight
But dreams illuminate my night
I am covered with dust and look cowed
I still see my path through the muzzy cloud
Thick smoke irks my eyes
I close them to visualize my prize
I unravel the world behind a closed door 
A mind roaming free unafraid to explore
No jewelry on my neck to show
I just hold on to my inner glows
No clout for my name to draw
I keep dreaming in the shadows
