simple truth

By Sketso

I stepped on my shadow the other day...

held him down, despite his discomfort,
right in the light, with nowhere to hide

and I said,

"Not followin' you...  No more!  You see?
No more of your path, you'll follow ME!"

...and when I took that first tentative step...

he did.






Life's been a lot better since then.
