The Shadow of Who I Really Am
Few Know Because I Don't Want
To Show the Real Person that I Am
That I Have a Crazy Side, Really I Do
That I Have a Silly Side, Really I Do
That I Have a Need to Be, but Can't
But Sometimes it is Easier to Fake
Every Now and Again My Shadow
Shows the Real Me but Not for Long
What is My Calling My Shadow is
Bawling and Desperate for Purpose
That Light May Come and Call Him
That Light May Come and Show Him
That Light May Come and Enhance
That Light May Come and Bring Life
To the Shadow of Who I Really Am

I have a crazy side too that I let off the leash more these days. My life is calling and I’m going to give it my A game , which means the leash is forever gone!
