Darkness Taking Over

Shadow

Sometimes I feel as if I am a shadow

stuck to someone's feet all through the day

hoping I can detach and drift away

I'm constantly feeling like a silhouette

nothing but an outline of something great

being transparent and opaque I hate

I want my spirit to be luminous

I don't want to be dark and gloomy

I want to effloresce and be bloomy

I want to be bright in polymorphous ways

I will shine brighter than a rainbow

For deep inside I'm not a shadow
