True Shades



True Shades

Awkward fit no matter where you sit
Always the different shape wherever you visit
You made yourself along life’s way
True shades without shadow your visible mainstay

Light reflected is not softly toned
Might hit other’s eyes like a sharp stone
Your depth is clear water but blinding to deceitful souls
Purity of heart protects your naiveté from emotion stealing ghouls

Scars litter your back from scorpion attacks
Smiles remembered so sweet seconds before the cracks
Strength to pursue that endless dream of light
Surrounded by darkness your conviction generates that sight

Cry to your soul in the silence of night
Not weakness but defense only witnessed by stars shining bright
They too are like you in their black velvet blanket
Unaware but admired by those whose inner light has expired
