A/N: Wrote this because I've always seen Raven as "living in the shadow"...
Shadow

Raven walked passed Terra's 'former' room. Beast boy was inside, sulking over the loss of his friend. Maybe, even, girlfriend.
'He shouldn't waste his time on her. She was evil from the beginning...' she thinks. It's unfair that he focuses all his attention to Terra, when she's not here anymore.
I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
The Titans gathered in the training arena, all except for one...
"Where's Beast boy?" Robin asked.
"He's in Terra's room." Raven answered, sadness in her voice, though she tried to hide it.
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
Lunch time, Beast boy is still a no-show.
"Should we go check on Beast boy?" Starfire worried.
"No. He has to get over it on his own." Raven says with more anger than she meant.
All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
So if you're listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
Don't feel sorry for me-
Beast boy emerges from the door. "Hey everyone! Who wants tofu eggs?" He was back to normal. The happy, upbeat titan had returned.
"I'm not eating tofu!" Cyborg declared, trying to get to the kitchen before he did.
"How about some herbal tea?" Beast boy offered, his eyes on Raven.
"Herbal tea is just fine" she said and smiled.
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Oh, my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the past is in the past
I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
I'm living in a new day
I'm living it for me
And now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
Don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day
