Analysis of My Shadow Side
Bryan Kiser Jr 1989 (Benton Harbor,Michigan)
Telling the truth isn't he greatest strength
See the light but wandering through the dark
Shadow saying change is hard
My mind knows is the right path
Love I have seen
Heart runs from it
Pain and struggle is all I know
Better times ahead
Do I wait
Procrastinating time, my flesh takes over
Mind over matter I can do
Overcame many battles
Battles that ran through my vein like new blood
We been together for decades now
I want a divorce,it begs me back
Feeling like it can't live without me
I always go back
Consuming my heart
I fall back in love
Today it told me it loves me
The soul speaks same ole lies
Breaking people hearts just to feel secure
That is not my intention
Wild days and times we have had
Fun at the moment but loneliness at night
Alcohol was our closest friend
Only came around when there was sorrow
chaotic mind,empty heart all it brings
Got the courage to depart
Many people struggle just like I am
This is my poem to you
Let it go you'll be okay
