Darkness and light

Walking down the streets of the light,
My shadows cast deep into the past.
The past seems so shy with lies,
Yet quietly seeking my sight with ire.

Questioning the future with wide eyes,
The life before me seems bright and light.
Yet the shadows behind me entice,
With its dark beauty and pretend shine.

Light, light,
Why you hid from me,
With your shine and glory hid.

Dark, dark,
Go away,
With your vicious claws and sticks.
