A Shadow in the Shade

I am invisible

A shadow in the shade

I am not seen

But passed by every day

My nightmares have no monsters

But the ones I made inside

Like a child afraid of the dark

But can't cross it to turn on the lights

What they think is frightening

Too difficult to bare

All you can do is wonder

But don't stop to stare

Though you may not,

I can see

That what you say

Cannot come to be

For I am invisible

A shadow in the shade

I don't dare stand out

So all I do is fade
