shadows of the heart...
the ones that hide
the ones that cry
the ones that develop with every breath we take
every move we make
every time we say hello
every time we say goodbye
anytime we say..im sorry
our hearts change
we build
we grow
every fiber of our being learns to cope
we never seem to see the changes in ourselves
but we see others reactions to ourselves
if we take the chance to see beyond ourselves
we strive for acceptance from others
but we live for acceptance of ourselves
we search for others hearts and their sous
and on the way we search for ourselves
we leave no one alone
yet we continue to stay alone ourselves
we keep the composure of faces and masks'
yet we scream and cry on the inside
we live
yet hoping for an end
a way out
a change from others
but we unknowingly beg for a change in ourselves
we cannot ignite the change
we can change
we cannot ignite the spark
we can find the match
we split our personalities
becoming one in the end
we split our soul
becoming whole during the finish
we split our heart
becoming complete during the fight
yet taking it apart at every new turn
piecing it back together when it falls apart
it cannot be done alone
we become one person from the people around us
taking every tear
cry
smile
laugh
meshing it with the heart we have
the love we own
the compassion we give
creating millions of shades
but one sunshine
bringing all the shadows of the heart
into one
