Shadows

  Shadows lurk where light cannot. Some say that the shadows are not real and that darkness is just the absence of light, but is a water bottle without water still a water bottle? Or maybe even a doctor with no patients still a doctor? Why do we lie? To save our minds from the harsh reality, or is it to hide from the pain of our pasts and the pain of what may come to us in our future. The light may seem kind sometimes, but it is a bully to the darkness. So are shadows really something to fear, or can they be a good place to hide and escape the lies of the safe light. Though you should be wary in this new place as if it was a new world. A world that is unpredictable and scary, but free and forgiving. Just remember that you will always be accepted by the shadows and not always by the light. For the light will judge what the shadows have touched and cast them away without a blink, but the shadows will comfort and accept those even loved by the light. Allowing you into their home as if you were family. Don't be blinded by the light. Be awoken by the darkness. Be saved by the Shadows.
