Shadows and Voices

Zeynep AKDOĞAN

Hiding behind light beams , Remembering what life means , In the streets , Of their dreams . Walking down in nightmares , Until one of them dares , To at least talk to someone , Talk to someone who cares .
Raindrops falling , Shadows are passing , Are they laughing ? Or just asking ? If they could be set free , They are willing to agree , To give up , To give up their mind ’ s key .
One ’ s own mind , Should be one of a kind .
Even if they are laughing , It ’ s because they are blind . Blind to their own dreams , Following the voices ’ schemes , Just because they are different , They have to shut down their screams .
The voices will not become quiet , They believe they are this one giant , The only way to make them silent , Is to team up and start a riot . Only then , Can they dream again , The voices disappear , The shadows finally can , Follow their own path , And write with their own pen .
