A ShadowA Poem by Kelley QuinnHow do shadows Look so alive? Bouncing off the walls: So careless. Yet still so Full of life. Relented. Peaceful. She wishes she could be like the shadows. Striking from one wall To the next. She wishes she could Stop thinking About her life. That reckless catastrophe. And still she wants to be Beautiful. And not Shunned upon By everything That she stands for. Is she no different than you? Maybe she could be a shadow: Dark. Mysterious. Alone. How fascinating A shadow is. On the wall and Sliding past Everything. Out of sight. Out of mind. The peace; Serenity. How blissful. She wants it. I need it. I want to be a shadow Too And be gone. Away. Dispersed. From this world. This chaos. I want to live My own life. Just like her. Just like A shadow. © 2014 Kelley Quinn |
