Shadows

The shadows of the past dance within my mind

I see them in my eyes, I hear them all the time.

They crowd within my thoughts, they live within my heart

showing up agian are the pain and fear I fought.

Running didn't help, forgetting wasn't real

The shadows are in my hands in everything I feel.

They dance within my body pushing everyone away.

Their always here within me each and every day.

The tears that should have fallen, anger built a dam

The tension surely building, release I fear at hand.

The shadows are surely winning, I don't know what to do

To stop the dam from falling, letting the pain and anger through.
