Shadow! ! Poem by Becky Ginn

I'm living life as a shadow
Of my former self
Life has changed me
Broken me beyond repair

I am scared because I can't choose
Which part of me is real
I'm a silent shadow
STUCK to a wall
I can't BREAK FREE

I cry these crimson tears
As confusing as desires rose
Dangerous, misunderstood
I'm a shadow, the darkest of them all
Or so it seems

I am part of two
Make me or break me
I can't be like you
Show me the real world
I will live as a shadow no more.
