A Shadow of Me

As I look back on life, I see.
The little girl I used to be.
Run and hide, don't say a word.
So that you can't find me.

Just a shadow don't be found.
Let them search all around.
Hold your breath as they walk by.
Do not move or you will die.

That little girl was full of fear.
Never knowing any cheer.
Tears were to be her legacy.
Haunting me as you see.

Now I'm grown and I still hear.
Whispers from years long ago
How they do haunt me so.
Memories that just won't let me go.
