My Shadow (Sonnet, published in www.poetrysoup.com in feb,2007)

My shadow

My shadow is dark and scary.
I want to leave it behind.
But I cannot get rid of it fully,
As it is situated in my mind.

I am inspired to move further,
As my hopes show me light.
I am optimistic for the future
But, my shadow is stuck tight.

The more I move to the light,
The bigger does it appear.
Memories of my past melt
And burst out in tears.

I want to brush my past aside
And make my future my pride.
