Shadows of yesterday
Scars are stories of yesterday
Buried in them are pain and tears
Shadows that hunts the memory down life's path
A shadow of yesterday that never fades away
Like horror, it creeps in on silent nights
Blazes from a gory slaughter, laughing instinctively
Ready to paint one's sins before their feeble heart
Leaving behind a shadow of worthlessness
Shadow of yesterday, my dearest companion
The young lad has growth but your sting still pain
Give me some light, the shadow has stayed for long
Wash me off from the pain of yesterday.
Shadow of yesterday, let me be me
I've grown to be a man, let the lad free
Time has betrayed its friend, healing has elude him
But I'll rest on healing grace, until the shadow has a glimpse of light.

I love the sounds in this couplet "gory slaughter" the vowel sounds are great.
