Morph Pain to Purpose

Shadows envelop us in  fear,
Shadows pierce our hearts,
Shadows drain our strength,
Shadows fill our soul with doubts,
Shadows imprison us.

Who is the prisoner?
It is I.

Who is the prison guard?
Is it the shadow?
Is that a yes?

Nay.
I.
Yes, it is I.
I allow the shadows to imprison I in the prison cell.

Walking through the shadows,
It is too painful, you don't understand.
Yes, i admit, i don't understand the pain you felt.
By the way, do you understand the pain in my heart.
Pain is too personal.
And my words fail to reach you from the outside.

Yet, look at ourselves today, TODAY.
Are we living out the future in the present NOW?
Are we living in the past shadows everyday, TODAY?
And we wonder what is the life purpose about.
And we wander...
Why do we wander?
Why do we wonder?
We are in the shadows of the darkness.

Why lived out the shadows of the past today, everyday?
