Shadow’s Confession
It’s not just about shining.
It’s being seen while shining
Without someone throwing a blanket over your flame,
because they’re scared it will burn brighter than theirs.
When light enters a room,
it does not negotiate with darkness.
Darkness simply scrambles for cover
Guilt when it’s cornered slithers in shame
Where shadows confess just by meeting the light,
no speaking, no mercy, no need to fight
Truth pulls the mask and leaves only the stain.
The coward inside can’t outrun the pain.
