The Shadow

Why did I take so long to realise that the entity, a metaphorical representation of my inner struggles and fears, guiding and driving me through the convoluted paths was only a shadow?

I presumed it was real and knew a lot more than me.

It’s a revelation that what I thought was real and knowledgeable was just a reflection of my darker self – the part ruled by fear, dislike, and painful memories.

A quirk of fate caused the vehicle to jump and throw it out. It couldn’t stand on its feet, and the river showed it in a different light.

Despite not having wings, I feel a sense of readiness to soar.

Yes, light is how I feel and what I see – the path ahead.
