    This was very powerful. It also made me feel a little sad too.

    "I wish you could detach your existence from me,
    and take away the hateful memories that reside in my heart,
    so that the bitter memories of friends which resemble you,
    fades away soon... "

    ^ I love all of this poem but the end was my favorite part as it said so much and really pulled at my heart strings

    This was a very powerful poem, indeed. Very ambiguous, too. I get the impression of your "shadow" being an old friend or old lover maybe? Quite unsure of if that's exactly what you were going for, but that's the message it sends me. I loved the last stanza. Great job.

    Wow! This was so intense! I loved your choice of words , they truly set the tone of this poem. One can't read this and not take it seriously. I liked your line "I wish you could detach your presence from me". Sometimes people don't have to physically be around you to have their presence there, even when we don't want it there. That feeling sucks :/

    I thought this was awesome. There were a few lines I'd add a few commas in to break up a line and make your poem easier to read, but other than that I loved this!

    Your presence exudes the clouds of reminiscence of my friends,
    who enjoy the freshness of rain with me like you,
    but fear to cover me in their wings
    when I am exposed to hardships...

    I really like this one a lot. the shadow, to me at least, represents a kind of duality which can be found in all people, so its instantly relatable. you prod at the skeletons in all our closets without actually making a direct accusation. its subtle and yet powerful, which i like a lot. very well written, probably my favorite one by you yet.

    Silence whispers, that we may think. What repels, is not meant to be.

    What a powerfull emotional poem which i enjoyed reading

    i like how you compared a friend to your shadow. The choice of words in this poem is perfect and you really got your message across.. the imagery you have created is amazing.
    I think everyone can relate to this in some way or another.

    I wish you could detach your existence from me,
    and take away the hateful memories that reside in my heart,
    so that the bitter memories of friends which resemble you,
    fades away soon...

    was my fav part. Purley because i felt it held the most emotion

    keep it up!

    Wow! The incorporation of shadow to the subject of the poem is very lovely. Beautifully described and the imagery is strong, vividly created. Its somewhat sad to always have a feeling of pessimism looming around one. Engulfing one in sheer abject despair. We get cuddled in worries of the unknown, uncertain what will shadow us further, to achieve that peace of mind.

    Life gets us in duality of the positive and negative ventures. The 'shadow' is that hope that hovers around us. Which gives us a reason to live and thrive come rain or sunshine. However, this same 'shadow' distance itself from us when we're clouded with misery, fear and sadness. It appears to appease and gives us comfort only in happy and positive moments.

    A good message of inspiration because i see the trait of hope radiating within. *claps* :-) ..
