The Shadows

Have you ever stood in the shadows?

they stand in the light looking into the shadows
are they afraid?
they glance, they point, they stare
but they do not make a sound
are they lost? or are they found?
it isn't fair.

alone in the shadows I walk
hearing the voices - people talk
I walk in the shadows, but am blinded by the light
of the things that I see
they always say that we are free
but in sight
do we really see?
