shadow...

i use to walk among,
the shadow of the dead,
spinning more illusion,
from that i had been fed,
the songs sang oh so beautiful,
luled conscious to deep sleep,
praying prayers of childhood,
a soul that god would keep.
thank god "i" was spiritual,
not like those deep in sin,
they suffered in their slumber,
god appointed "me" to call them in...
self-righteousness fell in the ditch,
got dirty with the rest,
swollen eyes, tear-filled days,
my god is this a test?
playing out the role i had,
such an actress i'd become,
i believed my own lies,
and claimed "god's will be done!"
when finally left with nothing,
was forced to look within...
no me, no soul, no savior,
eternal truth begin...
