Shadows

memories, the present and the abyss

of what was lost

we must let go

or we will succumb

to our shadow

we will fall victim

to what could have been

we will hold on

too tightly to the darkness

we will become shadows

forever victims

This is a good piece about letting go and working hard for the things you need. Your right, we will fall victim to ourselves. I've learned this in AA.
A moving piece, thanks for the write. -M

I'm very glad you liked this... addiction was something I had in mind. I wish you luck.

wise words. i have a very big shadow which has entangled me. letting go of it is going to be very hard, but lately that's precisely what i've been thinking. to live in pain is to not live at all. only in the light can we breathe.

It's hard to let go. Do not confuse self awareness with insight... you might let go of the wrong things. It is very easy to confuse the ideal with reality when we are transitioning. I highly recommend The Picture of Dorian Gray... Oscar Wilde knew.
