SHADOW -An original poem
A story of self-discovery and recovery from abuse, pain, low self-esteem, and fear.
Every passing night
She cried pain and blood
She could only imagine it’ll be better
As pain massage through her
She yearns to let go
‘Not today again’ she cried out
They devoured her mouth
Now she has no mouth
Lifting herself up to the sight
You’ll be fine he repeated
As they walked through the dark night
He was there all along.
She couldn’t resist the urge
As she drifted away
Until her eyes shut in sleep
And so was every thought
She loved to let go
She wants to arise
Through the pains each dawn
She knew she was done
She had to stop the shadows
They had to break-up
She felt the emptiness
Those words bore into her
She couldn’t simply be okay
It gradually walked away
as she let it go
She was as a whirlwind.
Oh, what freedom she wanted
No more shadowed
Now at the lime-light of freedom
So, she could really be free.
She finds comfort now
Not from the shadow
But from her confidence
Which had hidden behind the shadow
