Steemit Open Mic Week 94 - (original) Make For The Shadow

in #openmic • 6 years ago

Greetings Steemit Open Mic!

This week I'm doing another original that will appear on my upcoming album. This one was written a month or two ago and is basically my message to those dealing with depression. I'm right there with you <3

Lyrics:

for the downtrodden
I walk alone but right beside you
In this tribe of solitude you're not truly alone
For I'm writing my sorrow for those who suffer
for I suffer with you
Let's make for the shadow

Darkness blanket me with your sorrowful warmth
In the beauty of knowing one day this will pass

Know that down in my soul, I love all you who suffer
For it's you who carry the light of truth for us all
You know we are one in this universe of tears
Don't wipe the tears from the window
Let it rain and drown away the lies

Darkness blanket me with your sorrowful warmth
In the beauty of knowing one day this will pass
this all will pass
So let's make for the shadow
ohhhh
Let's make for the shadow

A big thank you to all the open mic team @luzcypher @pfunk @meno @soundlegion @verbal-d @krystle @passion-ground!

    Dude. I hate depression, but it won't leave me alone. The lyrics you have written are a shield...I don't know how else to put it. You get what's in my head and my heart and my soul. And just the fact that you get it makes it a little bit better. And a little bit goes a long way. Thank you.

    Thanks bro <3
    I'm glad that my song did as it was intended for you. I hate depression as well even though I've known that SOB for a very long time I'd hate to her an old friend, but what do you call something that won't go away?
    You're welcome my friend <3
