CHOICES IN THE SHADOWS
My shadows show in the night,
I am here, but my shadow is over there.
My life is couragously lived here,
my heart is contemplating over there.
I live here in this small land,
but at the same time I chose to belong,
over there, "Where?", by my shadow,
with a shadow near mine, and you'll understand mine,
the choice created by my mind,
but the life is a glimpse of when i'm there,
and my head rests on a rock surounded by channels,
channels open to the wide sea, open for all to travel.
It's my choice, do you agree?, a choice accepted willingly.
If not accepted I still survive, because my shadow is in disguise.
The odds turn in my favour, but all of a sudden they turn haywire.
If a love existed in the past, then my love is not forgotten so fast.
My love for a nation lost in supremacy, never forgetting what I grew up to be.
I grew up in the nation of the free, where my shadow existed totally.
My shadow existed in the past, just like now except now it's lost,
Lost between the strong and free,please don't forget the time spent being me.
My shadow becomes a part of me, except it still comes and goes temporarily.
I still have the hope to live strong and free, and my shadow exists between the joyously.
A joy I still love up to now, not forgetting all the times my heroe wore a crown.
A heroe living in the air, like a dove he flew without despair.
Like superman he graciously won and won, never giving up his immortal stardom,
but I still wish that I could of watched his acrobatical stunts, performed
effortlessly in the shadows of my life. He and his brothers stood up and played together,
one moved like a shooting star while the other had a gold mask in his hand.
My shadows still live, yes they live, regardless of what people say, do, or think.
My Hero is my shadow and my shadow lives with my heroe. Their dynasty survived effortlessly, with a shot by a figure in 23, who later became a member of the great blue wizadry.

The choices we make
Are the roads we take
No matter the consequence
Bravely we must face
Accepting our mistakes

I'm amazed every day,
at the things people do and say.
No thought to the pain,
these people are oblivious and vain.
