Shadows Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Lurking around
Skulking
Watching my every step
Waiting for any mistakes

Though some are praying
that I’ll be treading the best path
But others are also on prey
Gaining strength for every downfall
for every pain I feel
for every suffering
for every crushing of my spirit!
envious or just a psychopath!
wanting to steal any luck and good happenstance

O!
Those shadows
I have to remind my inner self
that those around me
are only shadows, mere shadows
they only exist
when there’s a light shining on my way.
