ShadowsA Poem by Ricky CampbellIm tired of hidingHiding in shadows Waiting for this all too pass Anticipating the departure of such an ugly soul From my beautiful life One and a half years that I have to wait in the shadows For if I don't, the ugliness will stick around much longer Follow behind me as I continue to grow Holding onto my shoulders, and falling to the ground Trying to take me with it But I will not fall I will keep on climbing up no matter how long it takes My goals I have set too high to just quit now I at least need to try I don't care how deep of a hole my debt digs If im afraid of that, than im afraid of life Because I will be successful, but its going to cost something to get there But when I do get there, It will be worth it I swear My life will be bright and happy I wont stop until it is I want you to slump on your couch and open the paper And read about me, and my success For you to pick up the phone and dial my number “Hey Ricky, what do I do next?”© 2015 Ricky CampbellAuthor's Note
