The Hidden Shadow

Noted Nest

Updated: May 10, 2024

The hidden shadow

A thin layer of gold,

Blinds the innocent soul

It appeared a bright star

At least it did from afar 

But truly a cloud, dark and cold

One darker than pure coal

Its shine hid it's darkness

And also hid others brightness.


People never saw it's true color,

They never wanted to,

Even if they saw the dark side,

The light couldn't afford to hide

But one day I hope,

People have eyes big enough

To see the inner darkness

At least, not fear to look past it's brightness.
