A Shadow

definitely a very different poem for me, i was trying to create a new kind of feel when people read it.

A Shadow

 

A entity bathed in the darkness

Is always told that it CAN NOT break free

And that it WILL NOT even dare to try

But what is darkness without light

Without one, the other cannot exist

As sure as I am that night CAN NOT come without day

I am also sure that it WILL NOT given the choice

They need each other to survive

A hero is not a hero without a villain

A villain is only evil in comparison to the hero

Without each other, they become just regular people

It is not until they are pitted against each other that their powers grow

That their ideals becomes a resolve

To change the world into something they see fit for humanity

My shadow is the same

It is just a darker side of me

Yet being in the dark does not make one bad, or evil

You can decide for yourself your path

Your destiny

Just because you grew up in the darkness

Does not mean that you can’t break free

That you can’t walk outside

And start again, again in the light

Such a great poem! I did not see the twist of using a hero and villian scenario coming!
