“If you can conquer darkness, you are one up on your shadow, as it cannot conquer light.”
Of The Light, It Was Scared
7.12.2017
In the shadows, I run
To hide from my own
But one step into the sun
I am found, no escape
From my dark mirror clone
On the surface
He seems innocent enough
On the surface
Mocking my every move
But below the surface
Be it smooth or rough
Across a brick wall
Or riding the sidewalk groove
I’m not so sure
A shady character hid
He’s not so pure
And where does he hide
When I’m running in fear
And from him in the shade
In the shade
Hid from my eyes
In the shade
But always
Right there by my side
Mended, where he hides in plain sight
Connected to me
He’s tied
Though camouflaged by
The absence of light
To face my dark side
From the shade
I jumped out
While facing my fear
I finally figured out
It had a fear all its own
And it could not jump out
As the light hit face bared
It stayed hidden behind me
Of the light, it was scared
