In the Shadows

In the shadows I lurk Afraid of me Scared of you Lost I am I fall to pieces Ripped apart by my past Millions of pieces hold some type of regret Swept into a dust pan of fear cascaded across the floor for everyone to step on Unsure of David Unsure of what I may become So scared to see my own mortality My days seem blur So many blessings I hold Hands of people who love me for me Why is that so hard to accept I ***** and complain till no end But everyday my life is closer to its end Why can't I see past failure Look past regret Why is this so tough Rough it seems but I am appreciated I am enjoyed Why can't I believe The world is not out to get me It is out to make me This is why I write I write to get past my doubt To take control of my destiny Within faith I will find strength to let this world truly see me and reap those rewards life has given me.
