A shadow, a shadow, all there but not,
Faceless, face this with all you've gotAll around the pillars continue to rise
The shadow held under their gazing eyesAll built up but empty inside
Never quite willingly along for the rideThrown into the fray, with total disregard
The world is tough, society's cold, and life is hardRoam the streets, as to what they discarded
That shadow, against it all from when it startedOdd, odd, a shadow cast as an outcast
Dreams and illusions too distant to graspAlone then, travel on forward
A mind set with a goal to move towardBut the race never ends, there's more to be run
A shadow kept in the darkness and burned by the sunWhere to then, O shadow of mine?
What home will you ever find...
