In the Shadows

I have only become what I didn’t want To be like the same person who hurt her It’s really sad I might have taken a path close to that person As sorry as I am, time has passed and that can’t change But In this penitentiary time, I ponder Why did I become that person? I realized I had too many loose ends And I said a lot of things to undeserved ears Now it’s time to tighten up this life of mine Saying too much is a disease And living in the moment without caution is blinding The whispers in the shadows has taught me to live solely in solitude For in solitude you learn to confine to yourself and stay disciplined. Making me a partial introvert in time For there’s is no other friend than yourself I came to a conclusion that the same love that binds equally blinds And I can’t live in the past I have put everything behind me the best I can For I can Only be what I am. the northern Shakespeare
