My life seems all about living in shadows

broken words wounded heart thoughts that have turned hollow

At every age the shadows returns

From care to fear they keep turns

They are sometimes my friend sometimes my foe sometimes they are just living next door

Though these shadows do come handy at times

When we need them they do just fine

At times they are a heavy burden

At times they are a gift in need

 

They come in all forms and types

Good bad ugly at times

But they are always there by your side

Guiding you from time to time

So dear shadow just be by my side

Before my mind gets mellow with time
