Aware

Back to Secret Shadow

She runs away from her past but it’s always there,
It’s there to follow her and haunt her everywhere.
She is lost; she does not know a place to hide,
It’s buried inside of her soul; it’s her own guide.
She tries to get rid of it but it never goes away,
It’s always near her by the ending of each day.

This little girl crying quietly on her pillow,
Wishing she somehow got rid of her shadow.
She is being forced to carry herself with pride,
When her blood characteristics she wants to hide.
She isn’t proud of being who she is meant to be,
She wants something else; a chance to be free.

She struggles with the influenced by her side,
But what is inside of her is fighting to decide.
She knows in life what is right from the wrong,
Yet her blood is what influences her strong.
This is who she was meant to be in her heart,
It something she has to live with; it tears her apart.

Her family is behind her telling her what to do,
She can’t change things; that’s the way she grew.
Her blood dictates what is it she must become,
She is fighting it; she is fighting her problem.
She was dying from birth yet needed to breathe,
Aware of her crisis; living with love is all she need.
