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.
