I feel like I cast my inner shadow outward wherever I go
Always keeping me in darkness
And touching everyone I come into contact with
When I share things the shadow overhead fills itself with rain and thunder
Ready to strike when they get too close
Threatening to pour down when I start to feel
I don't want to be the raincloud over someone else's sunny day
I don't want to cast my shadow on someone else's patch of light
I ruin everything I touch
So to protect everyone, I isolate
Because it's better to stand in the dark, stormy rain alone
Than to drag someone else into it with me
