Chased by the shadow
You resemble an apparition
Running away from light
In fear of facing the shadow
Entering a pitch black phase
There is comfort living in obscurity
Feeling with your hands
To ensure the presence of you
Swimming along the tides
Completely exhausting journey ahead
Running away is search of darkness
To deceive the shadow
Unknowingly, the shadow lurks within
Manipulating the mind to hide
The soul has no significance
As you have turned away
To walk the path of darkness©

“There is comfort living in obscurity” hhmmmm, this line pricked me.

It’s a poem. Just describing a feeling. There’s no need to hide when we can enjoy the sunshine.

True, but sometimes, it feels good to hide under a bed or a table like a child- wish I could do it once more.
These days, all this exposure makes one want to crawl into oneself once more.

What did I reveal? Anything new? Or, the fact that I am still a kid. 😀
