I am nothing but a stuffed doll
pull out my seams and sand will spill
like ten thousand tears
of ten thousand years
upon the absence of my shadow
limp and numb like a child’s toy
I am nothing more than a shell
a likeness of a person
and that’s all I’ll ever be

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
