Shadow

I smile to hide my sadness
I laugh to hide my fears
Behind my mask of faces
I shed a thousand tears

Drowning in the darkness
Sinking in despair
Wandering the universe
As if nobody cares

A world of pain and sorrow
A place of fallen tears
A heart weighed down by bitterness
Built up over the years

Passing through our daily lives
A soul that went unloved
Searching for the guidance of
An angel from above

Lost in our own selfish thoughts
We fail to see the crying
A broken spirit full of grief
That everyday is dying

He views the world through sullen eyes
A soul darkened by sorrow
Looking to the next day
Drifting onward toward tomorrow
