Hiding in the shadows

Sophenia

I hide in the shadows.

Of the people who are older and wiser than me.

Overshadowed by the skills an age gap can provide.

It does feel comfortable here.

However, it paralyses me from taking action.

 

I think I would rather be in the light.

In the shoes of the ones who overshadow me.

But I doubt that because that would make me go out of my comfort zone.

Which is scary and a little confusing to me.

    Responsibility and growth, we grow into those shoes. You reach a stage where you want to be in them, but at some point you wish you could take them off! Guess it’s an age thing! Good write, Dave.
