My Secret Shadow
Feels like the world is split into two;
Everything that's happening is light and dark.
In the day I conceal myself with a mask,
Hoping to be seen among others.
To be noticed just to not be alone,
My second face shows no sadness.
A face showing no emotions
Only a smile to show the world.
The eye sees that I am ordinary.
But when the sun begins to fade,
I return to where I belong while
There is little daylight left.
Darkness has finally set in,
A moon its only weakness.
My mask begins to fade
By the dimness of the closing minutes.
A tear drop of sadness,
Anger soon to take control.
I quickly turn on the lamp
To save my dying smile.
The stillness of the night triumphs
Until the dark is awakened by brightness.
Tonight, my only companion will be
My secret shadow.
