Shadowy
Angela Danielle Owen
In and out, back and forth again
How is it that I never win?
Am I wrong?
Was it not so long
When I could sing a happy song?
Raise my voice and join the choir,
Add some hope instead of dire?
You say, "You are not the only one."
But this weight that presses weighs a ton.
I see only darkness, not a hint of sun.
In my mind the time has come
To change before the shadow has won.
