Out of the Shadows

Self-Rediscovery

Everything for everyone else,

Caring without limits comes at a cost,

Lost and buried, you forget yourself.

Illusion of perfection, pretending,

Protecting what you thought was fragile,

Shadows start to shift, no more hiding,

Eyes open, a new dawn breaking on the horizon.

About the Creator

Alyssa Nicole

A toxicologist who secretly hopes to be a full-time author. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head until I get around to writing them. Some of those ideas end up here.

    I felt this one, Alyssa. It’s one of those I can relate so strongly to that it almost feels like it was written about my life. Loved it
