I've always drifted in a dark place, Dancing in the shadows, Flirting with demise. I've been this way for so long, I didn't know what I was missing. Not until a spark of life, Grew into a flame. A spark of happiness, That turned into an explosion. I functioned! I saw! I felt! I embraced it, enjoying life for the first time, But at the same time, Trying to shut it out. I hated it because I knew it would leave. How can I go back to the shadows after being in the light? But you can't stop the inevitable.. Back to the shadows, I drifted.

Into the Shadows
I've always drifted in a dark place, Dancing in the shadows, Flirting with demise. I've been this way for so long, I didn't know what I was missing. Not until a spark of life, Grew into a flame. A spark of happiness, That turned into an explosion. I functioned! I saw! I felt! I embraced it, enjoying life for the first time, But at the same time, Trying to shut it out. I hated it because I knew it would leave. How can I go back to the shadows after being in the light? But you can't stop the inevitable.. Back to the shadows, I drifted.
