The Boy Who Stood Facing His Shadow
April 13, 2022
Life to some is very black and white,
No colorful days or happy moments,
No color other than black and white
Most who see this way feel as if they’re standing
All alone, with no one or nothing to give them color
Some look at life as something sad or lonely
In the dark with just their shadow
Like they’re at a standstill with either themselves,
Or with the difficulties of life
Alone is how people like him feel
He wants to be seen, not hidden
Alone, a shadowy, scary word left for him,
The boy who stood facing his shadow.

I love the concept and the title! This is very well-written, thank you for sharing it
This poem was originally written for a school assignment, but my teacher and I both agreed that others should be able to read this. I wrote it from my own experience of feeling alone.
