For many years I tried SO hard
To live a life........a normal life
But I just can't escape this dark shadow
That is always creeping up besides me
For many years I tried to hide
Fighting my battles quietly inside
Afraid to say something and open up
About this dark shadow that is taking over my life
Fearful of being judged and misunderstood
I thought hiding it is for the best
Though this shadow won't give me a rest
Many nights I cried myself to sleep
Asking why me?.....Why did it have to be me?
But I can't seem to find a answer
I just happened to be an innocent sufferer
Of this shadow that never leaves me
Even when I beg and plead.....
