The Oversized Shadow

Shadows can be overwhelming. You may feel as though you don't have the right to protest in view of it's sheer size. If you've a friend who has a shadow that overwhelms you, it's time to step into the light. 

Being overshadowed by others is never a comfortable feeling. You feel that you have so much worth, but it's hardly ever your turn to make good or shine. 

What should we do if a shadow becomes too big for its black boots? We assert ourselves in no equivocal terms. Besides learning to say no, we can say how we feel about being constantly overwhelmed  and set our boundaries. 

Enjoy! It's free verse day. 

Shadow

Too large

Looming over

Envelopes

Completely

From within

Its murky 

Depths

Step into

The light

Shadow has

No line

With boldness

Clearly define

Many hands push

Force one's form

Out of Shadow's Misshape

Into light's grace

One's form turns

And learns 

To lift 

A hand 

Out

No.
