To the shadow!

The shadow that I see

Behind the sun,

Stares defiantly at me!

For...

I killed the one

That veiled my soul

And I stand…

Shadow free!

They have this right

To glare these eyes,

To this shadow of the sun!

I shout!

For, they define

What being the Sun

Is all about!

I remember,

In that darkness

I observed,

My shadow scaring me

And I fought…

Fought till the light in me

Conquered this fright

And my shadow died!

I paid no condolences,

And no mournful thoughts,

For they once defined me too!

With no sympathy for myself,

And the darkness, I was in!

The ashes, I threw!

To the burning light,

For, my shadow died…

I say, of no regret…

I did no wrong to me,

But, yes! to my shadow,

“Your company,

Disheartened the light in me,

With no option left,

I betrayed you and let you go!

Yes, I killed you”

I will never apologize though!

Hereby,

I refuse to say sorry!

Nicely expressed in words. i guess in everyone's life a part of our inner darkness that we do not like and want to get rid of it. when we release it , feel stabilized. Thanks for sharing

Jung referred to the shadow as of animal origins ... is childlike ... and is a part of the unconscious experience. We sometimes dislike it because it keeps us imprisoned to the past. A nice portrayal of the experience.
