My Shadows Can Talk​

It’s scary what a smile can hide,

For my shadows can talk.

They pull my grin from ear to ear,

To make certain no one can hear my cries or see my fear.

It’s scary in the dark,

For my shadows can talk.

They whisper to my soul every night and morning,

To confirm I know my worth.

It’s scary how out of touch we are,

For my shadows can talk.

Sometimes they are my only friends,

And others I manage to block them out.

It’s scary how much we dream,

Dream of better days to come,

I dream,

Dream,

Dream,

Of a day,

That my shadows do not talk.
