Do Not Be A Fool (To Yourself) Poem by Sari Mavi

Your shadow is a constant companion
It goes everywhere you go, like your
guardian angel

You may not always acknowledge it,
but it is with you day and night,
come rain or shine.

You can run, but you cannot hide
from the shadow any more than
you can lie to yourself.

You will never go wrong by heeding
your interior voice, otherwise
known as our conscience.

What do you need to do to stay
true to self?
Listen with understanding to your intuition.

You are able to fool some people
some of the time, but you cannot
fool yourself!
