Shadow soul
You pace the walls
Your dark a shade of shame
Don't look straight at
Look away
It's a mortal sin
Ignorance is sure to be bliss
You keep running from yourself only to have to again begin
Not knowing which way to turn
Then you look within
Opening up the wound sticking your hand in
You have guts in your hand
Facing your own messy entrails
Why they cause you so much pain
How black the blood became
Without ever understanding why
Eyes on your shadow side
Soul that seems less whole
But how can you be whole without all sides
Your soul is your guide
It is alive in nightshade or sunlight
You just have to make friends with it  
Accept it is a part of us all
Reflecting compassion and understanding to one another's
