Recess

Within my soul,
I know I am true.
You accuse me much,
Turning me blue.
My mind is green,
A thought-maze unseen.
I know my worth,
You should tell that not.
Within me lie my emotions,
Of abandon and warmth.
Suppressed for the world,
Yet poured out for loved ones.
I surrender in front of god,
Seek solace in his company.
That is what I am,
A shadow on a bright street.
Don't hunt me down,
For my breath shall remain.
Etched in minds of friends,
Engraved in that of my parents.
Within my soul,
I know I am true.
A pair of thorn torn feet,
Yet running as the runners do.
