They keep saying the shadow is not real
It's just a mirror reflection of your bad dream
They keep saying, "tuck it apart and hide and mend"
But the shadow stubbornly remains and be friend
When it's getting dark, close the door
Don't let the shadow in, they said
And yet the shadow just smile and remains in its tattered throne with serene
When it's getting hard, they said
Fight!
Don't let the shadow win
Even an inch
When it's getting hurt and your body curled
Mirroring defense with your empty sword
Keep standing, they said, until your last breath
When it's getting so frustrating
And your tears dried
And you just want to scream at the clicking time
Let it go, they said
Let it go
'Is it that easy?' now your turn to said
No answer and the silent echos
And the silent remains
