"life long" should be "lifelong" I believe? |
Thank you once again for the input, I shall correct those errors in time, yes, originally I didn't have that final line, but as I read it, the poem felt unfinished so I thought about it and came up with shadow of my shadow, it did indeed create the ominous feeling, which was very much the aim.now to the interpretation....it could be both literal and figurative, for at one stage in my life,I was in conflict with myself,I felt as though I had a split personality, one extreme to the other, and one side, the darker more sinister side, seemed to dominate, however in a more figurative sense, it basically boils down to being I'm conflict within myself. |
You have deja vu all the time right? |
Oh my word!!! You described that 100% that's exactly how I feel.wow, it's like you took a walk in my mind and recorded everything you saw...the strange thing is, your answer actually makes sense to me, there's actually a logic that is embedded within.my shadow has disappeared sightly with time, she's not as strong as she once was, but she stills has moments where she makes an appearance and at times, takes over.you're so very right, that's exactly how she started, as a set of thoughts that seemed great, she started out as a silent observer, only making am appearance when I was in a sticky situation, so I thought, great this..entity is good,a guardian angel of sorts who's helping me through life, but then she began to reveal her presence even more until her thoughts became mine and our minds were twisted together, it got to a stage where I'd completely space out and she would"auto pilot"my body, she spoke for me, she would live for me, but she hurt so many people along the way and I don't remember what happened, although some of the poetry I wrote under her guidance was pretty good, and though I can give partial thanks to her for the confidence I have in myself today, she took too much of my life away, she hurt so many people and stole so many memories, my second year of high school is an almost complete blank to me cause she had taken over entirely by then. |
