Shadow of Myself

Shadow of Myself

A Poem by Alice Maria

I feel like a shadow,
Just a shadow in the sea of people,
Watching myself through my own eyes.
Unable to control what I do, what I see,
I'm just a shadow living inside my own body.
Surrounded by the murmuring of the world,
Listening to hum of the crowd,
Trying to fit in while standing out.
I am a shadow unable to get out.
Unable to be myself,
I am a shadow inside my own body.

This poem really exposes how I am sure a lot of people feel about fitting into society. Some don't find themselves, others do/others don a mask just to fit in and deny their true selves to shine through. This piece really makes you think about those who struggle to find themselves and beggars the question of 'how many people are out there just hiding behind the mask?'

I liked this piece.

That's why I wrote this poem.
This is amazing! It expresses how people feel when they enter into a new society or community. In that community, it is difficult to pour themselves out as they have a fear that someone might judge them for that.
Well done!
