The Evolution of Myself

Shadows

The shadows of my life inspire me.

Even though  they once sucked me up, and brought me to my knees.

So many have come into my life, to end up like dark visions on the pavement.

As I walked mindlessly through the crowd forgetting they follow behind me. 

Their left foot connected to mine, their right foot connected to mine. 

Till I turned to face the wall.

Then its their left to my right , their right to my left.

Did I really know them? 

friends become enemies,

backstabbers, no one to me.

Lovers become cheaters,

heart breakers, useless bottom feeders.

I look at my life and wonder;

Why did I let these people bring me under?

Once upon a time I danced with my shadows. 

One step , two step, once a step, twice I stepped.

My spirit dancing as God, as I got closer to the universe.  

But I let my needs turn into shadows.

Covering my eyes from God. 

You can't dance with what you cant see.

as I sat there and realize,

I had lost what I loved in this life.

My dreams I let down.

Shadows swallowing my crown. 

I let the shadows of my life take my name.

BUT! No More!.

I have found myself and I am here to stay. 

Because the shadows of my life Inspired me.

Even though they suffocated me till I couldn't breath.
