Shadows of the Playground

[Verse 1] In the playground where laughter should bloom, There's a secret tale of shadows and gloom. Little Timmy, with eyes downcast, Faced the bullies who made each day a blast. [Pre-Chorus] They whispered cruel words, like thorns in his heart, Mocking his glasses, tearing him apart. Timmy's smile faded, his spirit grew thin, As the shadows danced, fueled by their sin. [Chorus] Oh, the shadows in the playground, They thrive on tears and fears. They twist and turn, their darkness profound, Feeding on the pain of yesteryears. [Verse 2] Samantha, too, felt their icy breath, Her pigtails pulled, her dreams close to death. They laughed at her freckles, her quirky ways, The shadows reveled in her tear-streaked days. [Pre-Chorus] She painted rainbows on her bedroom wall, Hoping to escape this torment, stand tall. But the shadows whispered, "You're not enough," And Samantha believed their cruel bluff. [Chorus] Oh, the shadows in the playground, They thrive on tears and fears. They twist and turn, their darkness profound, Feeding on the pain of yesteryears. [Bridge] But wait! A glimmer of light appears, A friendship blooming amidst the tears. Timmy and Samantha, hand in hand, Decided to take a brave last stand. [Chorus] Against the shadows in the playground, They fought with courage and might. Their voices rose, their hearts unbound, Chasing away the darkness from sight. [Outro] So let's teach our kids to be kind and true, To stand up for others, to break through. For in unity, we banish the night, And the shadows retreat, losing their fight. Remember, little ones, you're never alone, Together, we'll build a brighter zone. No more shadows in the playground, Only love, compassion, and hope to be found.
