I walked in the shadows
before I knew any light
ashamed, guilty, and full of regret
my only out was running toward the dark
where I belonged
there, to slither between mistake after mistake
and masquerade with a beating heart
the scene, was set in rhythm and sweat
people would stare, stare straight through me
I wanted it…I deserved it
nobody allowed to peek beyond that curtain
to see who was in control, what was in control
all they did was help bury it deeper
beneath guise of a lie
then came the day where a key unlocked a clue
a tiny sparkling light
which found me, in await, to be let free
…from dark

That’s rather unusual from you. I mean, there’s a different feel to this one. Very interesting. Well done.
Will you come back, now that you’ve tipped your toes in?

Agreed, different. Not necessarily from a dark place…just pushing a feeling i might of had in the past if I described it today. And yes, my foot is completely in. Thanks for continuing to push me
