Shadows

Shadows bouncing off the walls
Shapes and forms dancing down the halls.

Different molds it seems to take,
Filling up the night.
Flowers clouds and butterflies,
Monsters and Ghouls alike.

As you lay in bed that night
With your eyes wide open,
You look around at all the shadows
Wishing..Dreaming.. Hoping...

That one of them would come alive
And take you far away
Where you'd become a shadow yourself
And forever you would stay.

You'll be gray, dark and faceless
Playing tricks on people's minds
But a certain sense of freedom,
Only shadows can find.

Think of what you want to be
then watch yourself transform
Now you're living the shadows life,
Reviving and reborn.
