the shadows of others which maliciously dance upon the walls point and laugh at my human body that sits in my room watching
they use their shadows fragments of their true self to shame and degrade this person my self because I do not hide my flaws in darkness
the teasing shades of human criticize and belittle myself and the other few who openly exist as exactly who we are
these shadows fueled by fear spite negativity make every observation of exposed flaws I can only imagine that the humans who are casting these shadows of hate to be biting their nails and looking away as their shadow becomes them
while I was openly exposing my true form I began to hate that of who I am taking the shadows critique to heart when they are too weak to expose who they truly are
their shadows came for me- as did shadows of my own
instead of hiding myself becoming the same as them using my insecurities as fuel for hatred to burden upon others when the darkness began to encroach upon me it fueled to make me hate myself instead of others
now, I have begun to understand
my own shadow will no longer swallow me in darkness as it is just my own embodiment of hatred a version of myself that isn't real at all
and the shadows from others who spit fire to try and burn my flesh will fail as I now know that if they exposed their true self as I have done everybody would be able to see that the faults they accuse of only exist within them
and I am just simply me
I'm so sorry I haven't written in awhile I know none of you care but I finally got a job again and have been so overwhelmed I simply forgot to write. this piece is about others who critique and shame people for traits that they openly accept about theirself.
