Shadows can be overwhelming. You may feel as though you don’t have the right to protest in view of it’s sheer size. If you’ve a friend who has a shadow that overwhelms you, it’s time to step into the light.
Being overshadowed by others is never a comfortable feeling. You feel that you have so much worth, but it’s hardly ever your turn to make good or shine.
What should we do if a shadow becomes too big for its black boots? We assert ourselves in no equivocal terms. Besides learning to say no, we can say how we feel about being constantly overwhelmed and set our boundaries.
Enjoy! It’s free verse day.
Shadow
Too large
Looming over
Envelopes
Completely
From within
Its murky
Depths
Step into
The light
Shadow has
No line
With boldness
Clearly define
Many hands push
Force one’s form
Out of Shadow’s Misshape
Into light’s grace
One’s form turns
And learns
To lift
A hand
Out
No.
