shadow



being enveloped by the shadow
to walk for a day in the valley
is hell; it doesn't begin in the afterlife
it began when you were born

so many unable to pull themselves out
and how can you, when you've been taught
there are no handles at all
and you're being held down by your shadow

the path to divinity is individual
but many don't even start
i feel like i've gone through the looking glass
and move back every time i move forward

can i break through my shadow?
i'm not sure it's possible.
but it doesn't hurt to try.
