Shadow

I am a shadow of myself,
whose emotions now rarely come out,i have buried them deep,
promises now meaningless,neither i make or keep!


I am a shadow of myself,
To conceal my emotions,
I try to manipulate my behavioral equations...

I am a shadow of myself,
in an inertia of betrayal,
Unhealed wounds and scars my only portrayal...

I am a shadow of myself,
constantly changing in magnitude and direction,
in tune with others perception..

I am a shadow of myself,
shallow from outside, fragile inside,
no more rules and ideals i abide...

I am a shadow of myself,
with an unbearable intensity in my eyes,
with a propensity to classify every emotional development as lies...

I am a shadow of myself,
looking for ways to fill in the void,
looking for ways to be emotionally-employed..

I am a shadow of myself,
hiding behind myself in pain and fear,
erupting inside in top gear....

I am a shadow of myself,
burdened with so many grievances,
a wanderer as per the present circumstances...

I am a shadow of myself,
who needs an illuminating spark in this encompassing dark,
but doesn't know how to embark...

I am a shadow of myself,
With very high vulnerability quotient,
My protective shadow-unconventional and omnipresent!!!!
