I Am...
I've encouraged them from the shadows
Have found others and helped them take stage
Helped them find the spotlight
And from the shadows,
I've watched their accomplishments
Like they were actors on stage
Only they weren't acting
And I was so proud of them
Because they found who they were
But in the mean time,
There was still someone in the shadows-
Myself-
I never found myself
Because I was so busy
Trying to help others locate their own
I D E N T I T Y
And they were such beautiful identities
How could I ever find something that wonderful
When all I've known is the shadow's darkness?
So I'll stand in the shadows a while longer
Until I can find myself
Because I know I still can find exactly
Who I am.
