Shadow Dreaming

Looking back

Reflecting on childhood

Was it so bad?

Left with nothing but baggage

My ball and chain holding me

Staring out

its pitch black

Nowhere to run

Can I hide here?

Succumbed by fear

Doubt is all I’ve known

Forgotten here

Lost my heart

Back there on the gray road

They never told me

It was time to go

The sun is setting

Yet another day

Lost to the shadows
