Shadows

I imagine myself walking
in a dark tunnel through most
of my teen years

Not sure
if the darkness

Ever

Ends.

I walk unconsciously now
Going through the

Motions.

My eyes
Not knowing if they're open

Or closed,

Until I am blinded with
Light.

It's strange
To know that you never saw me

Until now.

That you say you have always seen me,
Seen my shadow in the dark
Grasping at your eager eyes.

But we both know
That my shadow only ever became present

Once the light created it
