we all have shadows lurking, stalking us - from the way we lived our young and adult lives, memories that remain unforgotten but kept hidden, or even thoughts that were never realised but bore strong feelings that they remain even still undone and unspoken. these shadows follow us - often safely contained behind corners and walls, kept safe within the darkness. at times, however, they creep behind us - crawling slowly out against a blinding shine, when we least expect in our comfortable outward existence, in the guise of focused light, our shadows glare out.
i am a shadow. behind the limelight, in my darkness i thrive.
