All of this confusion was never meant to be
Suddenly my future is going to the blue sea
Trying to grasp her shadow I fall on my face
My life forever changed and all I do is pace
Being free I miss what I hated most
Having way too much time to slide and coast
Now it takes a lot of work to sit and do not a thing
I had lots of ideas then that I could do on a wing
Nothing can stop me now except my free will
The images of what was, over flow’s my fill
Coming from my eyes and the silent screams inside
The sun is rising, laying in my sweat and my head is fried
It’s a new day expecting to find my my new way
So many voices from the crowd but I must say
Rising above the chatter clearing my brain
Must find the the door of progress to the next pain
Now I start floating up and rise above the noise
Her shadow is still silent and I’m losing my poise
Let me ask one last question that I am now free
Will our shadows ever merge and come to be
