Trying to get my senses at ease
Or maybe my heart to cease
Like a shadow attempting to control a man
I give up on leading this dance

Who I am to play the fool?
Or dance upon flower petals that lie in a pool?
Who am I to sing at night
Of the suns dying light?

And at long last I lie and sigh
Tonight will be the night
When I take control of this dance
And the shadow controls the man

But as all my tries so far have ended
So must this one, how demented
That I the shadow rest after defeat
The man dances on not noticing me in the least

The realization hits be that I will never win
And that I should in simple truth
Accept what I have been trying to let loose
Rather then using it as a home made noose

**Note: First I would like to say that this has nothing to do with 2 people.
It is an inward battle and that is why I put it under introspection. The
reason I used the metaphor of a shadow and a man is because you feel like
both being part of what is happening and just being along for the ride. I
am sorry if I confused anyone.
