Shadow

Shadow

By:Angela

Everyone has something around them.

What about me,

there is no “around” around me.

Colorless,

that is the only color here.

Banishment, 

how many times it happen?

Painfulness,

it’s the only feeling.

Colorless, banishment, painfulness,

those are the components of my world.

I am just a shadow,

remember, you’re just a shadow.

No right to love,

neither to be loved.

Shadow.

I have a feeling that this is wrong.

Just like wrights wrap a wreak.

My world shouldn’t be like this.

No light, at least night.

No white, at least black.

No music, at least noise.

The darkness before doom,

withstand it, and exceed the light.

Colorless, banishment, painfulness,

they don’t belong here.

Courage.

I am not anyone’s shadow,

the “around” around me is called understand.

Loneliness, I withstand.

No “around” then created one.

Just like how singularity did,

creating the space.

Listen to this message,

allow pain to assuage,

gain oneself the courage.

I’m not anyone’s shadow,

so do you.
