*Shadows*

.

.

What is outside often
Reveals what is held inside

.

The darkest taboo
Broken
The search for strength and spirit
Exposes the madness within

.

The attentions of others
Fuel for the fires of jealousy

.

A journey into the shadows
Of the forest
Shines light on emotions
Kept hidden

.

Feelings unacknowledged
From self, from both
