SHADOWS AND SUFFERING

It follows me everywhere i go. I am so scared of it. It never leaves me alone. I am sick of it. None has been able to see it. IT's dark. That's why it's not visible in dark or at night, but it's still there. As i type this , it's still watching me. My hands are shivering. It has never harmed me physically, but keeps a rigid eye on me, torturing me mentally . I am being watched. I don't know from whom to ask help for, when it's only me who can see it.

It wakes up with me, feeds along me, walks by me. It's appearance is dynamic. Human form, sometimes it stretches itself, sometimes its dwarfed. Sometimes it looks bulky, sometimes lean. It has form of a face ,but its featureless. No eyes, no lips, no nose. But still it can watch me, it knows my body smell as it always end up finding me, it speaks to me through it's silence, like it wants to be dominant of me.

I feel weak in it's presence. I often wait for nights, for dark sky, cause i know it won't be watching me then. I know its there, but not visible to my naked eyes. I feel solace in darkness now. I hate to leave my bed every morning along it. I am delighted as i see the sun setting down. A lot of people have told me its normal its a part of life. It would get normal. Everything would be fine. Poor people they don't know they are so sick , they can't even see their sickness. I pity them.

You guys know it. You guys are equally tormented by it. people have learned to live with it, on the other hand , i lack the courage to be submissive, i intend to fight. It's name is- Shadow. Dark. Has a human looking form. Featureless. Alters its length and breadth, always stick to you during sunlight. In dark it hides, just to be with you again once moonlight's shows up.

SHADOW- expanded as sick, hallow, anxious, depressed, overthinking, wasted. We all have our unique individual shadow, cause whole human kind is under grave mental sickness. It wakes up with you, You feed it. You allow it to grow along yourself. Like told- all of us are influenced from it, to an extent we have learnt to co-operate with it. your shadow eats you up day by day. It's your anxiety which works with you at your job. Its your depression with whom you spend your quality time when you have none to share. Its your hallowness which has set high standards for you, and won't let you mix up with people around you. Its your overthinking who is the third wheel in your perfectly happy relationship. Its you who are wasting your potential. Its your sick soul which doesn't let you evolve and constantly aches, burns right there in your chest.

Most of us are already satisfied with our shadows. They just manage through the day, wait for the dark hours, but moon does show up. They barely get any chance to hide from it , and they spent all their lives finding a forever hiding space. You can't hide from it when it resides inside you. You will have to fight with it.

Some people commit suicide because of their mental issues. Teenagers the most. Without having seen what's ahead they loosen hope. Mental problems needs to be addressed. Do not fall for anyone who says its normal. It'll pass. It sure does pass, but it should pass through the right process. Process is smoother when accompanied by correct help, else it's suffering.

YOU ARE MUCH GREATER THAN YOUR SHADOW, WHICH DOESN'T EVEN HAS A PROPER PHYSICAL EXISTENCE.
