Chasing One's Shadow

Time flies in a blink of an eye fluttered high to memory lane A sudden glimpse and then I sigh those residue from the past pain eating you alive, sucking you dry from insides up to the brain Each strand is a touch by linger emanating trains full of thoughts which draws denial plus anger poured in the cauldron of mere quotes Calm lights rekindled deep within resonating its evil twin a cloak for sanity to sheath like quicksand drowning deep beneath Ended up meeting the same fate that once tried to pull you over against that vortex of pure hate filled the city,scorching ember I do want to break free, but how? these cuffs bound for eternity A formidable enemy cast by your very own shadow being chased away in the down low the question is, will you allow?

A searing question ends an impressive development of the theme right from the start. Only you, however, can answer the same. The question now would be "Do you believe?". Welcome to Poetry Soup kabayan. Smiles. Kim

Thanks for such heartwarming welcome. Well, I am currently a nursing student on my third year and poetry just happened to be a way for me to vent all my frustrations. Though I have to admit that writing has been a passion for me.
