Shadow

By Hamsini

I see the dark smoke spreading closer

It was like I was invisible

I have no one to hold close

How come I am so different

Is there a reason to live

I was never happy

It felt like I was a Shadow

To everyone I’m nothing

But a Shadow

The tears are pouring down

No one to share with

No one to care with

How is living such a pain

It’s better to die I guess

To everyone I’m nothing

But a Shadow

Why can't I just be with

Someone I want to be

Feels like I’m destined to be like this

I’ve always tried

The sun grew dark

With a little misery

I guess this is my fate

I guess I’ll just be

A shadow forever
