The Shadows

Shadows wait
Shadows watch
but what hides within shadows?
A dark so evil it kills with a single glance
or a light dimmed by death?
Could a helpless creature be lured away?
What would happen if it were released?
Destruction and sorrow?
or Peace and joy?
Can happiness await, inside the shadows?
They only watch
They only wait
But for what I do not know
I know only that something hides withinin them
Bringing us closer yet pushing us closer
With the shadows I will run
Pulling on their masks
What hides in OUR shadows?
