I am a Silhouette

Yet today, I am Shining

The tearless tears I cry are now Tears of Joy

I laugh more than I ever had

The dark days are far from behind me

But I no longer fret and buckle under the stress.

I now embrace both the dark and the light.

Those who casted the first stone now sees I am in the position

To have the last laugh

Yet I have since forgiven them

I am a Silhouette

Still I have no shadow

But I now know despite that I can laugh

Cry

Smile

Frown

I am a Silhouette

And today I am Shining.

I am a silhouette
I have no shadow
My face has no description
One only sees the blackness of my body
I have no tears, yet I cry
I have no smile, yet I laugh
I have no skin, yet I feel
So, how come I have no shadow
How can you call me emotionless
Am I not to have feelings because you can't
see my face
Am I a puppet because you see no soul
Am I worthy to suffer because you feel that
a shadow bears no soul
If you were a silhouette would you feel the
same
Would you still cast the first stone
One of my Oldest Poems. It's one I look back to for inspiration.
