#10. Shadow Self

I’m being followed by a shadow of myself
(embrace your shadow self, all the self help books decry)
Can I sew my shadow self back on
with a needle and thread?
That’s what Wendy did to Peter Pan.
When all my illusions and delusions fade away
What is left?
Bereft of fantasy,
the bare bones of truth
illuminate
reality.
Sanctity.
Serenity.
