Her Shadow

The girl's shadow shows far more about her than her reflection. Her reflection shows whats on the outside what everybody can see. But her shadow, shows a blank dark figure. One that allows her to imagine what she truly is. Empty she doesn't have a pretty face or slim body in the shadow. She sees darkness. Even though she can't see emotional scars, the shadow shows emptiness. The girl's shadowlets her see something  else nobody can. Her pain.

We all release our inward feelings through some path, some are violent, some cry, some release it in art or literature or poetry. I hope your poems help you to find peace within yourself.
