To Own My Own Shadow

by Phronesus Disegno
 Age Group: Adult

The dark side I have within Is it really so bad? Aspects of fear, the unknown Experiences from the past Which have left me scarred for life Yet, my beautiful friends The ones who love me anyway They say I have no such dark side, Though it is always apparent! In the forefront of my being For all to see, at all times My dedication to Truth Will not allow me to hide it But why should I, When it it so extraordinary?
It makes me who I am A mere switch in its polarity Gives me strength others admire Though most do not understand; It serves me now Like a battery, a capacitor It is the sum total Of all lessons I have learned It touches everyone I've ever met Improving quality of life Inspiring changes for the better Self-confidence and esteem Daemons now conquered I shall never dismiss them
It is perhaps my best example Of how to show love and mercy Of healing, of knowledge Of revealing true hope Seeing outside of myself Encouragement to seek perspective Acceptance of differences Loyalty and faith The evolution of understanding Standing by what I believe in My dark side, ah yes... Without it, I'd be so much less For it serves my higher purpose, A purpose no one can take from me: The initiative to generate love Where none previously existed.
The dark side I have within, How wonderful it is -- To own my own shadow.
