Shadow Mee

A moment in time
A moment of mine

I am stealing

I stole a whole day

Of this weekend

Why does it feel like theft

To claim my time for me?

Because I've given myself over

Living in my shadow form

So I don't have to feel my life

All the goodness

Slipping through my fingers

He called to my shadow

Beckoned her

He drank with her

Talked with her

Walked with her

But reached for me

And I came out of my shadow

To see him

And I let him see me

A little, anyway

And he makes me question

Do I still need to hide

In my shadow

Or am I ready

To shine?
