Shadows

Broken toys and darkened halls
Echoes of the past recall
Silent screams in nighttime's hold
Whispers of a story told

Cartoon mornings cereal bowls
Hiding secrets fractured souls
Beneath the laughter shadows grow
Haunted eyes they never show

Comic books and paper planes
Coping with the hidden pains
Monsters lurking out of sight
In the quiet of the night

Fairy tales with darker ends
Trust in friends that time suspends
Bruises hidden smiles worn thin
Fighting battles deep within

Playground taunts and lonely walks
Secrets shared in whispered talks
Underneath the summer sun
Innocence is on the run

Comic books and paper planes
Coping with the hidden pains
Monsters lurking out of sight
In the quiet of the night

Through the years the ghosts remain
Echoes of a childhood's pain
But through the tears and memories
It's time to set the spirits free

Step by step the past we mend
Learning that the pain can end
With each year the shadows fade
We must step over unafraid
