Shadows Forgotten

The past... It hurts me.
The shadows... They haunt me
The secrets... They keep me from saying too much
And all too often not enough
All of this causes unbearable pain
You may never see it because I won't look in your eyes
I'm afraid you'll see too much
The pain... It causes jealousy
Jealousy of those who can shine with no worries in the world
This all makes me feel weak and hopeless,
But the loniless is my comfort zone
Maybe soon the sun will shine
And I will be noticed.
I will be found
I will be allowed time to shine
My pain will disappear
The shadows won't phase me
And my past will be nothing but a distant memory.
