Shadows in the Back

Whispers in the shadows, shadows in my mind

Trying to find the reason, what I can't define

Every word I give, like sparks in the night

Falling so softly, yet losing the fight

No recognition, just echoes in my soul

Holding on tightly, I'm losing control

Feeling the pain, like a silent attack

An invisible wound, a constant backlash

Always giving, never looking for gold

Backstabbed repeatedly, growing cold

Feels like they're stabbing me in the back

A constant attack, I can't turn back

Giving all I have, but it’s never enough

Pierced by shadows, call my bluff

Is it my fault? Or just the way of the world?

Standing alone, with banners unfurled

Seeking the truth, amidst the lies

A watchful soul, with aching eyes

Still I give, still I hope, even with the scars

The fight within, beneath the stars

No matter the pain, I’ll find my way

Beyond the shadows, to a brighter day
