Shadows

Shadows searching, shadows finding,

Shadows taking, shadows binding.

Shadows corrupting, shadows killing,

Shadows destroying, shadows chilling.

Is this what I was doomed to be?

A Shadow for eternity?

An I'll-kill-you-if-you-get-in-my-way,

Is that all I'll ever have to say?

Why was I chosen to take this life?

Grief, terror, destruction, and strife.

No friends or happiness for me,

Why is this the person I must be?

I guess I have no say in fate.

Nothing for me; only hate.

An endless life, but black and cursed.

Why must I always be the worst?

Shadows searching, shadows finding,

Shadows taking, shadows binding.

Shadows corrupting, shadows killing,

Shadows destroying, shadows chilling.

Alas, now I see what I am to be: a Shadow.
