In the darkness I searched,
only to be greeted by my shadow!
What a strange shadow!
Filled with sorrow and despairs,
Filled with loneliness and fears,
A lot of of hurt had filled it from past years.
But a bit hope glimmered under all its tears!
So I asked it why it stared, why it hurt,
and why it feared?
As I listened closely, focused on its quiet heart beat.
What a beautiful beat!
Now the tears had slightly faded,
and the glimmer of hope began to shine.
I realized it's okay to have that shadow,
It's alright to have some fears,
But always keep a little glimmer, a bit of hope,
Somewhere near and dear!
