Reasons

It’s time you hear my reasons,

Of all the times I took your joy,

And I promise it’s no harm towards

Yourself, or to destroy.

You see, I shaped you and your mind,

And I promise you once more:

It was never all your shadows

Who caused the after of your before.

It was the ground that held your weight,

The sky that wiped your tears,

The lightning held your bones,

And the thunders yelled your fears.

I only trapped your youthful soul

Into a body called a shape.

It has two edges and a side,

And now your soul cannot escape.

So ask our dearest nature,

Ask the darkness and the light.

Perhaps they could find the secrets

Housed within the heart of night.

It’s time you hear me and the shadows

Represent our reasons so,

And all I wish for is that you

Would understand it’s just to grow.
