Shadow follows
and creeps about
peeking, hiding,
whispering a shout.
There in the
background
keeping watch,
it rears its head
magnifying your
fears. You can’t
escape its far-
reaching charm,
the Shadow loiters
bringing you harm.
If you can’t see it,
you’re in trouble
indeed…you must
face it squarely
and pay it great heed.
Inferiorities feed
and make it darker,
focus on weakness,
amplifying its strength.
This Shadow is
persistent but can
be decreased. The
Self of Light is the
path to take. Don’t
be ashamed, it
clings to us all,
this deep, abiding
gloom that thrives
deep inside.
Look at it, face it,
don’t back down.
It will quiver away
and leave you profound.
