Shadows Pieces of memories Walking through the woods I followed my shadow All the things I held so dear And today And that's when I realized (c) Shannon "Whispy" Lester 1999
I walk into the shadows
of my former self
Looking back
with each step I take
follow me wherever I go
and so do the shadows
I saw myself as a child
aimlessly
I saw myself
as a part of the crowd
giggling and smiling
with each step that I took
until I saw it no more
The former self that I had known
had faded
in what seemed to be the blink of an eye
became nothing but memories
taken with that wintery morning
that morning that changed me forever
I flip through
the pages of my past
and recall the shadows
that used to follow me
the shadows had faded
And gave me a chance
to be a stronger, wiser person.
Gazing Into Your Heart Looking into my reflection I look into my reflection I looked and thought Gazing at my leg brace (c) Shannon "Whispy" Lester 1999
I gaze into the mirror
reflecting on myself
I see who I am
and I see who I wish I could be.
seeing myself with my green eyes
and my dark brown hair
All looks fine and the way it should
and deep into myself
searching my soul for answers
and searching my heart for a reason to believe
and fiund deep inside
Something I had always had
a growing sense of pride.
and finding something I couldn't change
This is who I was meant to be
even though it's not who I thought I'd be.
Set Me Free When I found you You pushed and pulled me So I set you free Shannon "Whispy" Lester If only the world could look at me I am an individual I gave you a chance to know me Shannon "Whispy" Lester I kiss you I know that you understand I see a bright horizon And let love be our future Shannon "Whispy" Lester I dream of you Bring me the closeness Though you may be somewhere I watch the stunning beauty of the daffodils that grow Shannon "Whispy" Lester Gazing around at each of us seeking prosperity His kind words promised something He promised to come again Shannon "Whispy" Lester
Love is a dream
fulfilled with time
A hope that I hold in my heart
I found someone
But just someone wasn't right
in both ways
With no where else to turn
and when I did this
I did something wonderful
I gave myself my life again.
All I really needed
was someone to hold my hand
someone to look me in the eye
to accept me,
to understand.
and see me for my glow
rather than the hopes and fears
I somehow still don't know.
unique in my own way
with feelings and opportunities
But I'm confused because of
the mixed signals you portray.
but you chose to lose me still
For reasons that you still don't know
and maybe never will.
I found someone to understand
to see the feeling in my heart
someone to feel the sentiment in my words
and I'm not afraid
to let go of the past
to forget the life I left behind
for you have felt the pain of loss
for we are together
and I feel the joy of love
in the dawning of each kiss
I find a security in you
of knowing I can let go of the past
you take me by the hand
and then you let me shine
you let me find a love in you.
I will wait for you to take me by the hand
and lead me onto the dance floor
I will dream of you holding me in your arms
as we as we sway to the sweet melodies of love.
embracing me with the ecstasy of love
I will wait
until I find you.
and affection that I crave
Accept me as I am
and bring me the vision of love I've always dreamed of.
and possibly not here
I know you'll someday find me
and keep me in your heart.
so beautifully and majestic
and believe you'll someday find me
and welcome me with your love.
He saw me through the crowd
of saddened hearts
Looking to find what he saw in himself
and I smiled
he heard my words
He saw my need for someone
someone like him
something I'd never found before
Someone who understood
someone I could love
and promised something more
the notion that he'd come again
and walk into my heart.
Who I Am I look into myself And so, I just walk along It may not be what some want me to be Shannon "Whispy" Lester
My heart is melancholic
With the pain of knowing I am not the same
I look into the eyes of the guys I'm supposed to be attracted to
But they have not the compassion to love me
And find the compassion to love another
But find that they can't look through the surface
To see the beauty beyond my exterior
With my head held high
With the satisfaction of knowing
I am the best I can be
But it's who I am
I'm proud of it
As I always will be.
