My Own Shadow Poem by Nio Diehard

Rising high feeling low
There no light, still its glow
Though it’s clear, although it’s a dark,
Running towards my shadow, and he is leaving far
Still I want to touch, I want to feel,
And it’s like chasing my greed
Whatever I am thinking, that is not true,
Do colors of a life have only black and blue?
My fear of truth is eating me;
My own act of expression is teasing me,
Mine words holds fear, and I am not speaking it
There’s no wish, and still I am chasing it,
It’s an effort that I have put;
A state of my mind speaks only truth,
It’s my Own Shadow, it’s my greed
Want to come out of it, want to be freed

Oh I found, a ray of hope……
One rope,
To climb up,
As I think,
It was a dream, as my eyes blinked
Yes it’s my own shadow, it's like a dream,
I don’t know why, I keep on chasing him.
I can’t be disguised now, can’t evade this thought,
No more I can see burning my own heart.
Although I am complete, even without it,
But question is this, what that thing is,
It’s a thought, should be fade away,
It is the only way, I will find my way
its a feeling that I have expressed,
Endlessly it will hurt,
if not been addressed
It’s my Own Shadow, it’s my greed
Want to come out of it, want to be freed
