•Behind Glass Eyes•

I'd Rather Be

Let them be light.
Always shining, laughing, open, bright
Bit still favorite among all.

I'd rather be dark.
Hiding in the night like a bat
Keeping to myself.

To have music and art heal me.
To create, to feel like I belong
In a world filled with magic.
To be mysterious,
Hiding my emotions
Behind a mask no one knows is there.

I'd rather be a shadow
And if then to be ignored by everyone
Than to be crowded
By people who adore you.
Where they follow and shine
And be someone they're not.

I'd rather be alone
Than be crowded by people.
If I could be happy and myself,
I'd rather be a shadow
Hidden in the dark.
