"Secret Shadows"

Secret Shadows

In a room filled with all your loved ones and your accolades

Sometimes the dark shadows will try to penetrate

From the annals of time there has been a battle between dark and light

We all go through personal battles and fights

Your smiles and your laughter used as your security blanket

Your jokes and your character mask the pain

People only see the surface, they only see your skin

They don’t have the X-ray vision to see what lies within

Your friends can’t see that your heart doesn’t pump love anymore

Your circulatory system is contaminated by past hurts

Your lungs breathe sorrow

Confusion and stress are hidden in your stomach

You’re pregnant with troubles, giving birth to destruction

It’s a shame your loved ones can’t read between the lines

All they see is your big house, big money and big success

The cars parked outside your drive are vehicles of deception

You seem care free but you’re living in a prison inside your mind,

You’re serving a life sentence and illusion is your handcuffs

I wish people could see the bigger picture,

I wish people had an open heart and an open mind

The tell lies like real men don’t cry

Open your eyes! If you look closely you can see the shadows chasing…
