Conquering Shadows

Trying to help ....

Conquering Shadows

You need to stop believing

In a foreboding obscurity

That blackens and surrounds

Your very life’s existence

In reality it is a falsehood

Misleadingly engulfing your mind

This psychosomatic cloak

Is only deceitfully generated

Because you just refuse

To unlock your closed eyes

And accept the honest truths

Of life’s treasured diversity

It has been poignantly written

The body does not consist

Of one member but of many

So throw away low self value

And replace it with determination

To embrace your gifted skills

Hiding away is not being alone

For a greater power is watching

A blanket of pride will not conceal

The frailty of a damaged situation

Conquering shadows needs support

So allow me to hold your hand

Pleasure to read. Beautiful sentiment. One that is close to me and definitely the kind of words that got me out of my worst in the past.

What I got from this is,
Life is not meaningless.
You are not meaningless.
Your actions are not meaningless
And you have a responsibility to recognize your own worth, but I have a responsibility to “hold your hand” and help you do that.

I loved the mention of many “members” of the “body”, and think you have gotten this point across so well.

Absolutely enjoyed reading!

We all think we're invincible.
No help needed now or ever.
Until that day, when we get found out.
Pride is great at the top of the page.
But in the end. We all need help.
