The Shadow Self



She follows me everywhere
Chattering continuously in my ears
She breathes in joy 
And exhales depression.

The world sleeps;
She stays awake -
Sits at my bedside...
Her words –
Continuous hammering inside my head.
She stirs unpleasant memories
Brings up topics I desperately avoid.
There's no running away from her.
She's always with me -

She's my shadow self.
