One Who Waits In The Shadows

She's is hidden behind herself
A shadow of a being
This girl is not for believing
She is for seeing

A person hidden behind lies
Hiding within from humanity
Give her room, give her space
Or do you want her to lose her sanity?

Anxiety is tugging at her very heart
She is pressured, she is scared
She doesn't want to be surrounded
Her poor scared mind is scarred

She panics when there are people near
She can't hold herself together
She's tired, she's scared
She doesn't want this to last forever

A shadow that moves
A shadow that shakes
A shadow that's scared
A shadow that breaks

One who waits in the shadows
One who is afraid of humanity?
One who will die alone?
One who is losing her sanity?

Nobody wants to care about her
She is scared, she is forgotten, she is hidden
Calm down little shadow, breathe
To think, to love, seemingly forbidden

One who waits in the shadows
She's scared of you, humanity
She doesn't believe in hope
She doesn't believe in unity

She is alone in her world of shadows
She can't bear to be seen
She is lost in the world of darkness
No, this isn't a dream...

She's the one hiding from everyone
She's the one scared of life, of hope
She hides with the shadows
This is how she is to cope

I'm afraid she will die hidden
I'm afraid no one will see
Why would someone live like that?
Is she happy?

Poor little shadow, hidden from God's eyes
Come out, come out, little shadow
Come be seen, come be real
And God shall welcome you into his eternal meadow

She's scared
She's weary, she's alone
She's a person scared
She is unknown

Poor little shadow
Always hiding in the darkness, always hiding
Come out little shadow
We can hear you always crying

Hand out stretched
Ready to bolt, scared of everything
One step, then another into the light
She can see, she is finally something

One who waits in the shadows
She isn't waiting back there anymore
She's no longer scared, she's no longer afraid
She has finally found the light behind the door
