Shadow
My name is Shadow,
Daughter of the Night and Sorrow,
Heir of the Kingdom of the Unknown,
A mystery that lays deep in my every bone.
My name is Shadow,
And I love daylight, when I’m not invisible to you,
When I can be by your side, in a life so hollow,
Cause you are my every color, but without you I’m only blue.
So please sleep with your light on,
Let me be an everlasting existence in your world,
You won’t be afraid of me like others, right?
When I’m the only darkness present in the light.
I hope you will see me for who I really am, one cursed for eternity,
Who longs to be a lover, not a watcher of cruelty,
And I just ask you to acknowledge me from time to time,
‘Cause only your eyes can bring the stars to make me, daughter of the Night, shine.
Or will you just be like everyone else,
People who see me for the monster that I was born,
Not valiant enough to break the pattern of my mess,
And too scared to touch me for being a rose full of thorns.
