Shadows Of A Lake (ON HOLD)

They told it was a car accident, that it was never meant to happen. It was a drunk driver.

They told me the death of my father was a tragedy, but it was way more than that. They told me in was gonna make it, that was strong enough, but I didn't feel like it.

They gave looks of pity and sympathy; which I despised.

It made me feel weak.

They treated me like broken glass or a box marked 'fragile'. It was like they were walking on eggshells with me.

After all that, they tormented me, shunned me and made me a social outcast.

I never understood why.

I've always asked myself, what I did to them to deserve what they did to me.

I've come to learn not to trust everything everyone says. I've also learned of you want something done you have to do it yourself.

But something I've learned that I'll never forget was that the deepest secrets are always lurking in the shadows.

But that wasn't the only thing lurking in the shadows.

Hope?

Sorrow?

Love?

Trust?

Loyalty?

Happiness?

Me. I was lurking in the shadows and I didn't even realize it. But it was time for a change. It was time I discovered who I am.

And that's exactly what I did.
