Shadows

I see them, wherever I walk, wherever I go.

They follow me, they follow everyone. Flitting to and fro

I see it all, I see behind it, the truth all raw and bare,

My question is, what about it does to you, so much scare?

Life and death, truth and lies, black and white,

Why is it so hard to not see what it is right in your sight?

The sun moves across the sky, its golden beams touching all,

Caressing, pressing, feeling, kissing, while the leaves continue to fall,

My madness, your madness, we are all alike you and I,

The truth is that I am not afraid to sit here and scream and cry,

I will cry, I will die, and the world will spin and turn,

But I saw and told, unlike you sweet liar, who will in hell burn.
