To Follow
Do you know what it is to follow?
To only see the back of those you so vigilantely seek.
To know that they will never turn and see you.
They are too busy following shadows of their own.
Because that is what we spend our time doing.
Chasing shadows on the walls of our life
Our prison.
Crying for them to see us.
Crying for them to know us.
But a shadow can answer..only as easily as a mirror can
And as we finally hear..and turn around
We realize we have been shouting at only ourselves.
To only see the back of those you so vigilantely seek.

Our prison.
Crying for them to see us.
Crying for them to know us.

We realize we have been shouting at only ourselves.
