This shadow mocks you in the face
Threatens to take your integrity
While you watch like a hopeless bird,
You struggle with the strength to fly away.
“Fly away wherever the wind might take you”,
Such an easy phrase can be accomplished.
They forget the challenges they encountered,
It’s their secret locked up in the darkness.
There you walk near horrendous branches
Thinking that their hands might catch you;
You create eyes and wrinkles on the tree barks,
Believing nature has plans against you.
The tears in your eyes are tears from the clouds
As you shelter your nakedness from nature,
You wonder what the purpose of this journey is,
Yet no one gives you pleasure to such answer.
Easy it would be to run home and be rescued,
The shame is great though to be viewed as a failure.
There is that smile, that lie you share with others
As you fight with the whole process of freedom.
Yet overtime, walking is no longer a fear
Distinguishing a path of comfort is found
Where the darkness and the light will meet
And choosing the road is all up to you.
This shadow of doubt has mocked you once
By trying to weaken the life you hold dear
But you will refuse to watch hopelessly
And fight with all strength to fly away.
