My Name is Shadow

I have always thought that the world is nothing but black

I keep on seeing myself trapped in darkness

And I can’t seem to see a ray of light

All I can do is hope and pray for a world so bright.

I kept on walking in nothingness

Hoping to find the end of my emptiness

All I have is this faith I hold

To find the path leading to the door of happiness.

Along my journey I stumbled and fall;

I gathered my feet in a courageous manner

To grab my second chance to grow and be better

To meet other people who cares and to care.

However, in this darkness I could see nothing,

I could only hear faint voices from afar

I started walking towards their direction

Slowly, the chattering and laughter becomes clearer.

Their voices was like a sweet melody

It was pleasing to the ear

It was my first time to hear such music

That got me anxious and excited.

As I got closer to the crowd, faint light I see

I’m happy for at last I saw light

My eyes glittered with tears of joy

When everyone gathered around and welcomed me.

Ah, what a wonderful feeling

To now and feel that you belong

I could only wish for this moment would never end

But, unknowingly, the light slowly faded to darkness.

Once again, my whole world was embraced by darkness

Stricken by fear, I run aimlessly in search for everyone

Tears started to fall because of fear and seclusion

I’m all alone now in the midst of oblivion.

I shouted for help but no one seems to hear

From a distance I saw a light and tried to walk towards it

However my feet got stuck and I can’t take a step

Something is keeping me from moving forward, I wonder what it is.
