Drawn to the Shadows

Tired of looking intent

when I listen.

Tired of hesitating

when I can answer instantaneously.

Tired of hiding

when I want to be noticed.

Tired of saying nothing

when I have loud thoughts.

Tired of staring at the blazing sun

when I'm drawn to the shadows.

Tired of following everyone else

when I'm going the other way.

Tired of seeming lost

when I've been on the path the whole time.

Tired of being fake

when I can be myself.
