Spring 2024
Here comes the shadow
Someone is trying to live their normal life and trying to not let themselves get consumed by the shadows
Today is a new day
I arise from my lengthy slumber
The sun shines brightly today
Yet I am surrounded by my shadows
Gnawing at my mind is the worry
The fear of disappointment
The fear of judgement
The fear consumes me slowly
Today is a new day
Bit after bit I am slowly accepting myself
The creeping shadows are leaving me alone
I’ve been released from the grip of my own mind
I’ve become a lively being
Today is a new day
And I am ready to start it
As I am surrounded by others I finally hear the words
“The groundhog doesn't see his shadow”
Indeed I don’t
