Shadows
the darkness hides
the minds which are wise
but filled with sadness
and they have been oppressed
they were treated like dirt
were dust is were we came from
now we treat each other like animals
when we are all like one another
this is unfair
to the dwellers in the dark
they should see the sunlight
and begin to walk
as they said before
treated unequally
this is life in the shadows
of the unequal society
we all went down the road
were no one wants to go
tears and shame
and all that you know
just see some other
deeper in dis spare
they lost their lives to
but other reason then you
some need to go down the road
to find their true self
while other go
cause something else happened
love lost
or lose of a love one
bullying mistreatment
maybe even worthless
as what they may think or understand
the shadows is a place to be
were no one can find you again
it is like the mist
at the cemetery
so grey and cloudy
it is hard to see in
when you in the beginning
but once you go deeper in
you see the true story
how some lost their love
in battles or in accident
or how some lost emotion
do to thing i cant stand
bullying racism
sexism parents
teacher at school
or just friend who dont like them
they all have fallen down a road of shadows
for they were once angles
now sadness broke their wings
they cant fly
or see the light
they are changed to the ground
with tears and lies
this is what lays in the shadows
now you dont need to go down that road.
