Conversation with her Shadow

Sitting on the rock by the side of the road ,
She looked quite, but her heart screams
Isolated and deserted, she sought shelter
In her own, self-crafted world of dreams

"Hey you", she heard a voice and looked around,
But to her dismay, not a soul was found
 “Hey look down, its me, your Shadow”
Shocked, she look at her silhouette on the ground

“Listen”, the shadow continued,
 “Its time, We need to have a conversation,
About something I have been holding back,
Something that has crossed my limits of toleration

I have been wondering where have you lost
What happened to you,
Where is that girl gone, Yes, Yes… that one,
The one who was as fresh as the morning dew

The girl who feared no one,
The one who rarely frowned
Courageous, Determined, Gracious
The one whose smile was her crown

Why have you turned so silent,
When you got so much to say,
Why do live in that shell of yours,
Why are you scared to touch the bay.

Girl, Let go of your fears,
Before it gets too late,
You’ve carried enough weight on those shoulders,
Its time to re-write your fate

Don’t be afraid of making mistakes,
Guess what..it’s okay to be insane,
Remember you are just another human,
Its time to unlock the chain

No mountains or sea, for you, Sky is the limit
Explore the horizons, unleash your incredible worth,
Discover, Reveal, please don’t conceal,
Hiding is not why you took birth.

For once, listen to your heartbeats, 
With your warmth you can melt that frozen wall,
For once, just take a leap and jump,
Haven’t you heard of ‘freefall’ ?

You can grow you’re wings on the way down,
Travel the world, design new plans
Don’t be scared of being alone,
Grab all that comes with open hands.

You’ll never be alone,
I’ll always be there a partner in your ride
Through the rocky surfaces, to greener lanes,
I will always be by your side……”

Soon, the shadow merged with darkness,
And The girl on the rock was not the same,
She was ready to dance, to sing , to fly,
To play the so-called “life’s game”.

Though it was dark, she could still sense her shadow,
This night was her dawn, a light only she could see,
She knew it’s time to move on, follow her dreams,
Unlock, Step-out, let it go and Break-free
