Shadow Self – A Poem

One side faces the sun

Embraces the light

Shows the world all it is

But where the light hits

Shadows form

Creep out, reach out

Tinging the light with dark

Slithering in to corrupt the perfect gold

He shows the world the light

Ignores the darkness there

That walks just one step behind

Waiting to embrace him

Pull him back to hide

Pull him down and show the world

He is dark and wretched inside
