King topaz sighed, placing the pen down. His heavy and dry eyes blink tiredly as he gives his poem a once over.
The careful writing on the page stood there in bold. His shadow loom over his shoulder and reads as well.
The poem was King Topaz's feeling towards his 'shadow'. A second person in his head, telling him and commanding him, staying in the backseat.
"She holds me back,
she tells me that I lack,
the things people want.
But she could daunt.
I can do anything in the world,
yet, she keeps me furled.
“I want to go out!” I say,
but to my dismay,
she says, “Let’s just stay inside.”
I cried, oh, how I cried.
I want to do something, yet she wants to lay down.
“But I don’t want to stay in bed!” I frown.
She shakes her head and waves her finger,
“What’s better than to stay in bed and linger?”
I can’t reason with her,
she won’t succor.
She’s a pain, she’s a leech,
no matter how I beseech.
She’s never leaving my side,
I cannot hide.
Our relationship is toxic,
she keeps me in a cage and locks it.
She feeds me lies,
tells me that they will lead us to our demise,
and tells me I’m the only one I need,
and I have to concede.
I can’t get rid of her,
but you can infer,
it’s because she is me."
