A shadow tide
is a misunderstood blanket of blue.
A coveted grey of doubts and despair.
One that not even Hope can hope to repair.
A shadow tide
is the sadness of lost years.
All those smiles replaced by remorseful tears.
A shadow tide
is the arduous truth.
A voice of reason behind
the lies spawned smooth.
A shadow tide
is a requimonius rage.
Unwavering resolve
not even the Gods can faze.
I am only a shadow of the person I used to be.
The tide is the change I want to see.
