Shadow and Light

In the shadows, far away,

You’ll have your turn, you’ll have your say.

For in the sun, under the light,

You need to run, you need to hide.

Not because you are wrong, not because you are despised,

Not because you are the devil, or an unrelenting vice.

Not because you are the reflection that everyone derides,

Not because you are the voice that rebukes, that chides.

You need to flee, to stay out of sight,

To stay in the shadows, away from the light.

For no fault of yours, you need to withhold.

For you are the Truth, the secret untold.
