Land of Shadows

Walking through the land of shadows 
I see spots of light coming from every direction
Begging me to choose a life 
A new life

But what if I don't want a new life?
What if I want to be in the dark forever?
What if I want to be the queen of shadows?
Will they throw me out, them picking a life for me

Would it be possible for me to stay?
Bring light to dark
Or would that upset the balance?
Would they hate me?

Maybe no
I should choose a life 
I could find my family again 
But what if I don't want to?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
