The Shadows Beneath Us

A Poem About the Hidden World

By Lucy WangPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

To unknowing eyes, the world up close may seem as if it were painted with the hues of vibrance and life, so full of constant joy and maybe the occasional trouble... But under the blanket that hides the naïve world, there is a vast sky only painted with the hues of agony and evil; No matter how we may despairingly try to paint over it, the disturbing shadows that color the real world will always be there; lurking, like a growing, sweeping void. Why is it that light may come and go, but when you see the full picture, the darkness lurks, never ceasing?
