Shadows
Here I go the same road I've been traveling on for years.
My life is so-so how I live it is up to me.
But I keep on thinking and I keep trying to
break out but I know that these shadows follow me where ever I go.
I turn the corner, I look behind myself again. Something is following me and some how I
can't pretend.
What do you want from me? Is it what I have to scream to get you to go
away.
I'm running fast now my feet are barely touching the ground, and I don't know
where I am anymore... i'm lost in my shadows.
No one can hear my voice i'm screaming so loud my throat is cracking. I'm surrounded by
darkness wondering when this will end? I hear footsteps walking behind, I turn but I
don't see.
I still hear the footsteps they are so close now I can't breath.
When will this go away, Why can't this thing just run away? I turn around, and to my
surprise I see a shadow the same image I've been trying to run away from.
One thing I've learned is that it will return no matter how far you run and the sky gets
dark and it will chase you until fyou confront your shadow.
