In the shadows
Hides the past
The things I thought I left behind
The people who impacted me
In the shadows
Hides my clear sight
The soft hue is fuzzy and grey
The confusion sets in
In the shadows
Hides my fears
The burden I no longer want to carry
But the shadows flicker with reminders
In the shadows
Hides my pain
A reminder of tragedy gone by
Threatening to show themselves in the light
In the shadows
I remind myself it isn't real
They are fading, fleeting
They aren't part of my future
In the shadows
Is no longer where I live
They may live there
But they get weaker every day
In the shadows
Is where they will stay
They no longer haunt me
Because I choose the light
