More Than Shadows

It’s a twist of the mind, a clash of the heart

Walking a line where worlds fall apart

Hidden behind shadows, a story untold

A soul torn between the dark and the gold

They see a monster, they see a fearsome face

But what they don’t know is there's a loving space

Half of me’s raging, the other’s caring deep

Battling two worlds that I silently keep

Don’t judge me by the scars, or the monsters in my past

There’s a heartbeat underneath, trying to see through the glass

If you only see the bad, you'll miss the good I contain

Look a little closer, see beyond the pain

I'm more than a shadow in your doubt

More than the fears you think I shout

Behind the anger, there's a gentle tune

Waiting to bloom beneath the moon

I’m not just evil, I’m a symphony

A mix of tears and empathy

Missed out opportunities to see

The real me in my complexity

You think I push away, but I just stand my ground

Seeking truth in the chaos, searching to be found

The world can be unkind, filled with narrow views

But I hold my own, I’ll fight for what’s true

If your eyes could see the tears I’ve cried

And the strength I hide inside

Would you understand or let it go?

Or stay and see the real me now?

I'm more than a shadow in your doubt

More than the fears you think I shout

Behind the anger, there's a gentle tune

Waiting to bloom beneath the moon

I’m not just evil, I’m a symphony

A mix of tears and empathy

Missed out opportunities to see

The real me in my complexity

Fast and slow, I shift and sway

Emotions brightened, then they fade away

But beneath it all, I stand tall

Facing the world, unafraid to fall

So take a closer look, don’t dismiss so fast

See the whole picture, not just the past

There’s more to me than meets the eye

A loving soul that will never die
