Sometimes my shadow is a hurt child
Hiding behind me
Lacking the features to show how frightened she is
Sometimes she is bigger than life
Leading the way
I'm naive in the ways of the world
Compared to my shadow
Sometimes she is no where
When she is lost so am I
Wandering around
Searching for the sun
In the shade
Curled up in twilight
She wanes like the moon
Her delicate sway
Hypnotic
Her grace not mine
She is as rare as the world
Equally fair
Her innocence endearing
Callow but earnest
But she knows more than reality
Enlightened
She is stark but intricate
Aren't we all
My shadow is like this also.
''Sometimes my shadow is a hurt child'' fantastic.
please read my poems, and enjoy the real-life drama that is my life!
