In These Shadows

What the Ink Reveals

By Shequinah Rayanh NanshanapaPublished 14 days ago • 1 min read

Certain shadows exist to obscure the parts I wish to hide.

The parts lost to my mind’s eye.

The parts I know others could see.

Parts they need no permission to see.

And in hiding within shadows, somehow I am dyed in mystery.

But how can I hide when my mind is brighter than these shadows?

How can I hide when my thoughts are louder… than these shadows?

Such is the risk of pouring ink onto paper.
