The inner child whom stands in shadow keeps the adult wary of the light. It is this child’s fight that needs the courage one builds as they become an adult. Exactly what it took to survive life all these years is what it will take to survive your past. Only now you know the future you only hoped for as a kid, now you can walk out of the shadows of childhood knowing that you did indeed SURVIVE!
And so perhaps those shadows are merely the memories of fears you didnt know you conquered.
A poet and you didnt even know it, the pros of your victory written from the shade of an outdated perception.
