Light On Shadow.

Light On Shadow.

A Poem by Frederick A.

Burn a hole through it all and see the light come pouring through, 
Tear It all down just to build it up anew, 
Harden up yourself and find the resolve deep inside, 
No more room to breath, only room to hide, 

The silhouette's cast a shadow yet again, 
Revealing light showing just whats hidden from within, 
Memories old dead seem re-awake, as your mind it is you wish to sleep,
Opening up wounds so distant, and so deep, 
Holding on to everything that you hope to keep, 
Vapors in your mind that fade as you reach, 
Just as the path your on disappears while you retreat, 

For them you chase away everything you knew, 
Breaking down all your walls to reveal it all, 
But as you look around you see no one at all
They never seem to stay or answer your call,
So now the steps to who you knew fade away and reappear, 
Harder now it is to move on and harder still to calm the fear, 
Time to grab the bull by the horns and try to steer, 

They take it all for their selves, making you another trophy on a shelf,
Just keep a' turning the pages of this life you try to live in good health, 
Taking it all in stride, the bad and good with no help, 
At times you have it all, yet with no one to share but yourself, 

Run away from the light,and hide the dark inside yourself, 
Hoping that no one can see through it all, 
Blindly travel down the same roads, and resurrect all those same walls, 
Nothing but time as you begin to stall, 
Find the reason within yourself as you stumble, and you fall,
Become what you truly are in the end of it all, 
Open up the door and let the light shine in seeing it where it falls, 
Down deep inside of yourself on darkness, and your sin,
The light on the shadow shows the truth hidden just within,
Silence now has fallen, and quiet is the din, 
Now is the time that it all finally comes to an end.
