Fighting Your Shadow
Your shadow tries leading you one way,
while at the same time
you try going the opposite direction.
And you desperately
try to control it with no avail.
Then your shadow laughs at you,
but only for your ears to hear.
It'll drive you absolutely crazy
because you can't tell your shadow
to shut up
without you looking crazy.
But once you realize
that the shadow you keep fighting with
is actually is you.
Then you'll continually be tortured
on a daily basis
until you take your stand.
