Shadows



Shadows.

In the deep shadows of my mind, where my hurt resides and the darkness hides. I caravan to knock on the door of this pain.

With bold courage, I journey through past wounds that life has given me. I won't interfere with the fear I feel. Instead I steadfastly move toward the darkness. Gaining courage the closer I get.

As strength blossoms forth, fear takes its leave,
I see life's darkness differently.
The weight that once oppressed my soul,
Wasn't meant to shatter me, but to make me whole.

Like a buried seed, I find my way,
Through struggles and pain, as night turns to day.
With time and light, I'll rise and soar,
Blossoming into something more.

About this poem
