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.
