Shadow Cast Aside
The Monsters in Plain Sight
I'm not sure how to start this
Do I Start with my name?
Maybe, where I'm from?
Why I'm here?
No... None of those are right..
I got it!
I am a shadow.
I am a shadow that's been cast aside.
A shadow that wants nothing more
Than to bathe in the warmth of the light
But I fear the light.
This Shadow fears light
This Shadow, is also feared by light
The beams of the Light burn
They burn at our very being
The light rips away at our precious soul
The light beckons us to be what we aren't
This is why I'm a Shadow
In the light, people are quick to notice you
The accept the faint memory
Of who you want them to see
And not who you are
In the shadows
You aren't judged
because you aren't seen
You aren't seen
Because you are a shadow
Amongst other shadows
The light fears us
Because we are different.
We choose to remain hidden from the light
We choose to remain different
Over sacrificing it for popularity
Over glory
Sacrificing Individuality
For a reflection of who we are
People tell me
That if I'm a shadow
That I must be depressed
And let me be the first to say
I am VERY depressed
They all tell me to
'Let it go'
To just, let my depression go
I would love nothing more
Than to just dump it in the trash
Right now.
But that would be pointless
