“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow Knows!”
“You fool, I dare you tell me what to do!”
I thrust and parry with my Shadow Self.
Self-sabotage, our deathless dual is through
I like to think, though proof’s the life I shelf;
the things I’d love to do still left undone
due to you, devil Dark Side’s fears I’ve gripped.
Their measure marks the points we’ve scored you’ve won:
Our high noon’s still ahead, our triggers tripped.
The wise advise the need to recognize
Shadow’s a folly we need to befriend,
own our own strength its presence signifies
or stay trapped in the terrors we tend.
“My Beast, have a bowl of treats”, I entreat;
“Let me enlist you to greet foes we’ll meet.”
Wonderfully concepted and composed, Helga! Love this passage:
"The wise advise there’s need to recognize
Shadow as folly unless we befriend,
own our own strength Your presence signifies
or stay trapped in the terrors You tend."
