Who am I?
I am Enigma
Wild like an Arabian mare
Unpredictable like a tornado
I am love and pain
I am night and day
I am light and shadow
I am poet and nerd
I am the student and the teacher
Sensuality flows through my veins
Naïve like a newborn dove
Astute like a haunting fox
Haunted are my eyes
Yet my heart remains untamed.
I am the philosopher stone
I am your mirror,
There is no hiding from me
You can ran all you want
Yet your legs will always bring you back
Wanting to know more
Seeking for a revelation
Of that which you don’t dare show
Yet I see it clear as day
I see your darkness,
I see your light
Yet myself I am unable to define.
As I look at my own reflection,
I wonder who am I looking at today
There are days when words flow like honey
And days where silence covers me like a fog
There are days when I feel like a wounded bird
When everything seems gray
And I can barely crawl
Those are the days my wounds bleed again
Where my mind battles with madness
As my shadow rises up and demands to dance
I surrender to her arms
For I am her and she is I.
As I let go of my desire to fight back
I can feel her loving embrace
“Trusts me” she whispers
And I let go to the abyss
As I am engulfed by its dark waters,
I think I will drown
Instead I am given the breath of life
Out of of the abyss I rise one more time
I can now feel my wings
I spread them wide
Like a falcon soaring through the sky
I can see everything
I am no longer blind
I wake up as if from a dream
All my senses come to life
Those are the days I feel flowers rising from my soul
My spirit brighter as hope spreads like a wild vine
Those are days when I can sing and dance
Where nothing is impossible
And I can defeat every obstacle
Who am I?
I am the tortured artist,
The philosopher,
I am woman and child
Who am I?
I am everything and nothing
I am the one you can’t describe
Love the image of the shadow that rises up to dance in the middle of the madness. Wow!

Thank you😊🙏 I feel too many people spend too much time trying to demonize the shadow, failing to realize in doing so, they are demonizing a part of themselves. We cannot outran who we are, we can learn from our shadow; it has valuable lessons to offer and within those lessons “gifts” for our own self healing and growth.
