Shadow

Written by Jacob Ibrag

You shed light on my blind spots, thought I

had my life figured out. Responsibility was a bad

word, one that you’d consistently bring up. And when

I looked into your luminous lights, I had realized my

true crime. I had been running away from myself,

yet you can’t run away from your shadow.

    How say’s you can’t run away from your shadows?

    Bending light within
    those daytime dreams..

    Must’be been profound, as you’d realized this about yourself…
