I Am A Shadow

**There's a lot of negative self-talk in this, so it might be triggering for you! Apologies in advance.**

This is a poem that I wrote about a couple of months after I started my freshman year in college. I'd just started playing "Persona 4 Golden," and I was fascinated by the concept of Shadows, those parts of yourself that you don't want anyone to see, yourself included. I started to wonder about my own Shadow, whether it was even more miserable than my outward persona, and then this happened.

Even if it's dark, I hope you like it!

I don't own "Persona 4 Golden" or any related properties; they all belong to Atlus.
