Shadows Poem by amanda awan

a shadow casting above me
a life of torture and pain
a life to reflect upon,
a life with no gain

in a life where i can't choose
to do whatever i want
not able to change the path
i've tried but i can't

stringed on like a puppet,
no moves that can be done alone,
never allowed to change myself
staying as still as a stone

a shadow kept in a path
not able to see the light
not able to ever shine,
suffocating to never fight.
