Shadows gather on the wall,
actors silent, scripts unseen;
its curtain drawn by light alone;
they mimic every gesture made
yet play another tale
We think them only absence cast
but shadows tell their story too;
a darker truth of who we are
revealed without consent
The theater of shadows runs
a play we never chose to stage
yet cannot leave behind
So watch your shadow’s drama close
its script may hold a key;
the theater of shadows shows
the parts you hide from sight
