Shadow run beside me
More real then this flesh and blood
I avoid
Look away
Yet you keep coming
I use distraction
Hurry on
Still you come
Dogged
Determined
Breathing hotly on my neck
Whispering
“You haven’t faced me yet”.
Ahh yet.
There will come a day
As many have come
When I cannot dodge around you
Standing there in the middle of the road
I lean
Hands to knees
Exhausted I breathe
“Alright show me”
And you do
So we work together
Another thing
Overcome
And you leave
(for a while)
Why did I run so long?
I’ll have to ask you
Next time you come along
“Why is this making me uncomfortable?” The most underrated enquiry. Used daily – it is life changing.
Oh yeah! 🙂
What a great explanation of what it’s like to experience our shadow side, finally accept it and then do it all over again as we do. Every. Damn. Time.
Good job👏
Thanks! It’s there for a reason and it keeps us growing
Absolutely 🙏
I’m going to engrave that question on my sword and shovel 🙂
Such a good question. It is liking prising open cans of worms every time.
