The Quite Shadow
By: Dominique Ortolano
What am I doing, in this shallow world? I stand here alone, in my own shadow and I'm scared. I thanked God last night, for a wonderful day, even though the day before was better. I thanked him for another sunrise and another chance to live. I thanked him for all of the good along with all of the bad. Yet tonight, I say nothing as I shiver in the darkness of my own shadow. I can't even say "thank you" in my head, and for that I am ever so sorry. I'm letting you down Lord, but I can't speak. The cruelty of this world has cut off my tongue. I swallow my pride and hide in my shadow. Using my naivetes as a blanket to cover my eyes. Ignorance is everything but bliss!
