Shadow

John Prophet

Shadow.
Inner.
Hiding
within.
That
which is
unknown.
Personality
unknown.
Personal.
Dig
deep
for truth.
Inner truth.
Know
thyself
less be
defined
by others.
Look
through
the veil.
See past
interference.
Societies
clutter.
Personal
shadow
unrecognized
controllable.
Easily
manipulated.
Easily
lead astray.
Know the
shadow
know
thyself.
Educate,
learn.
Fending
off outside
control,
influence.
Befriend
the shadow.
Become
one with,
challenge
the world.

    take out everything
    and just leave us these words, dear Poet
    and you'll have penned a classic
    to keep Relevant: 'The, Classic's':
    'Know
    thyself
    less be
    defined
    by others.
    Look
    through
    the veil.
    See past
    interference.
    Societies
    clutter.
    Personal
    shadow
    unrecognized
    controllable.
    Easily
    manipulated.
    Easily
    lead astray.
    Know the
    shadow
    know
    thyself.'

      Excellent edit! Thank you kindly for reading.

      This is very inspiring! The only suggestion I would say is to possibly change "unrecognized" to "unrecognizable". Otherwise, I loved it, thank you!

        True words John, we must be at one with our shadow.
