he is a child of the night
forced to stay in the shadows
looking at the world from the outside
enslaved to the darkness
always wishing, always waiting
for that one chance
to look into a world
that shuns his presence
always wanting to step into the light
but too afraid to leave
the comforting darkness
he looks at the world with hungry eyes
yearning to be free from his prison
he is a child of the night
roaming free in eternal darkness
but afraid to step into the light
always looking from the outside
to a world he knows he can never belong
and he stays shrouded in the shadows
for he knows to step into the light
means his destruction
