Chasing Shadows

I tend to reflect on shadows-
distorted versions of myself
created in my darkest places.

Light could not reach me here
where silhouettes of lust kept me
with constant companionship.

In the glum crevices of my mind,
I couldn’t imagine anywhere else
being as painfully welcoming.

I like.

Very brave. I like this poem, it says so much.
