Black shadows,
Stifling frown,
Crashing down,
Hopscotch till dawn.

Turn around,

Shadows of the sea,
All below; dark and deep,
Never to be seen,
Black bones of the knee,

Turn around,

Get up my friend,
One step down,
Two step up,

Let's begin,
The game of shadows.

Turn around,

Always a shadow,
only you can see.

Navya Saini
Maahum Khan Apr 2015
She was the girl
With her head stuck in the bird cage
She was the girl
Who watched others fly as she stayed on the ground
She was trapped inside her fear
She didn’t know
She couldn’t see
That there were people
Willing to get the key
There were people
Willing to give her wings
She was the girl
That never spoke a word
She was the girl
Who kept her feelings inside
She didn’t know
She couldn’t see
That there were people
Willing to let her scream
There were people
Willing to open her heart and mind
But
She was the girl
Who just wanted to be
For my friend who doesn't know I'm there

— The End —
