“Dancing With My Shadow”
I step into life’s battle ring with no cheers to be heard
Boldly I face what my heart’s left behind
With every round fought, I refuse to retreat
dancing with my demons as if I had two left feet
Yet I counter each jab that my mind has betrayed
In the sweat of the struggle, I find my own voice,
In the chaos of fear, I make my own choice
Every bruised knuckle tells tales of the fight,
Of battles within that can steal all my light
For fighting my shadow is part of the plan
In the dance with my shadow, I finally breathe free
For in the end…I remain me
