My Shadow

My Shadow

Dec 13, 2017

My shadow is the truth

My shadow is who I’m destined to be

My shadow cannot and will not lie

But my shadow is not me


We aren’t the same

I can and will lie

I wonder if we’ll ever be one

Before the day I die


My shadow is dangerous

My shadow is reckless

My shadow is me

No more, no less


Can you see?

Here, look into my eyes

I’m not who I seem to be

Look past my disguise


My shadow is trapped

My shadow cannot be free

Can I ever be my shadow?

Will I be me?

I am you, and you are me.

One of my favourite video games is Persona 4. I love the idea of having to confront your inner self before being able to move on in life.

I imagine my shadow to be the me who steps away from the wall and joins the crowd. The me who isn't afraid to speak up.

Personally, I find poetry really therapeutic. Whenever I'm in a bad place, I write down what I'm feeling. By the time I'm done, I feel a lot better.

Some of the poems in this collection are very personal and deal with heavy themes. I want to share, but if you don't feel comfortable with inner darkness, these may not be for you.
