Shadows of the Past
Am I transparent, wearing stealth clothes?
How can there be such a level of oblivion to the situation?
To pretend like nothing happened is a slap in the face.
One can hide away from the monster that is chasing them,
But if the monster is a shadow of the past,
You will have to confront it, ignoring will only last so long.
I feel for you because the monster will be lingering as your shadow for a long time at this pace.
To live life with a monster in your shadow will only hold you down.
The pain and angst I feel will be short lived,
I am fighting the monster and see that he is on his last breath.
Face it; stop denying its existence, one day you will be forced too
Or live life ignoring the monster in your shadow, only stopping your own personal journey from being fulfilled.
