Shadows

What happened to you?

And the good friend that I knew?

Oh, what has your shadow

Been putting you through?


For you, dusk has fallen

No light to be found

I look at you and see

That in your shadow you've drowned


If you're falling, I can catch you

Don't let the shadows take control

Take my hand, I can lead you

Back to the light


When we were young, we'd play and we'd dream

Let go of our troubles, awful as they seem

Now, that all has faded back to the seams

Dreams long forgotten could've been the key


If you're falling, I will catch you

Don't let the shadows take control

Take my hand, I can lead you

Back to the light


Oh yeah, if you're falling, I will catch you

Our shadows haven't yet taken control

Hand in hand, we can both make it

In pieces, back to the light


So this is about a friend of mine with really bad anxiety and depression who struggles a lot, worse than I ever have, and my worries about if I'll ever be able to help her, and little bits from my little sister becoming more negative than she used to be. The darkness you fight is within you, but so is the light you search for- I'M MAKING A POEM ABOUT THAT!
