    • To be set free, but locked away in my own cell of fear

    Shadow

    Follow close behind me
    As i lead us blinded
    Down a path by decree
    For the simple minded

    It comes to show that people may judge
    Label you as if superior
    Say all you want i just might budge
    For i'm weak with a lifeless interior

    Just me and my shadow of suicidal measure
    Wishing for something to change
    But being thrown away like unwanted treasure
    Juss makes all hope seem out of range

    Until one day my shadow shifted
    Another presence that sheltered me from frustration
    Where my depression lightly drifted
    A different shadow that became my salvation

    Knowing that there will still be cuts and bruises
    I have to understand its ok to be human
    So no more excuses
    No one should be treated as if subhuman

    People make mistakes
    Don't be hard on yourself
    Life is where meaning breaks
    So don't be afraid...

    It's only a shadow
