Not Afraid of Dark Matter [Poetry]

Shadows

I denied her all my life
The singing in the distant storm
The longing in my heart for home
The child crying all alone
And part of me still holds
That warrior pose and I know
The world is full of rage and pain
But why am I here if not to do the work
I'll drown if I have to
Make peace as I'm bound to
But one way or another
I'm taking on my shadows
