Some say there is no such thing as darkness when there is light
but they forget about the shadows that follow you in plain sight
they are always around you, though you may hardly notice
until they are staring right at you, when the sun is at its highest
so be aware when the sun is shining, and all is calm
for the shadows are sneaky and can appear unwarned
the people of the dark are not hard to find
places in the dark are not far behind
but life is in front of me, calling my name
one foot in front of the other, honesty keeps me sane
willingness brings me closer and closer
day after day, my shadows fall farther
and with my mind open, the darkness is becoming grey
and the grey I can handle, if I live Just For Today
