My Shadow

My shadow, dark and scary.
I just want to leave it behind.	
I can't get rid of it fully,
It is staying in my mind.

I'm inspired to move further, 
As my hopes always show me light.
I,m optimistic for future 
But, my shadow is stuck tight.

The more I forward to the light,
The bigger does it appear.
Memories of my past does melt
And burst out from eyes in tears.

I want to brush my past aside 
And make my future my true pride.
