I am dancing with my shadow self
A dance of knowing and discovery
Looking for a balance which I can maintain
The tango of the masculine and feminine drains me
The continuous conflict of power is exhausting on my mind
Like a manipulated puppet I fell birthing hope
My soul essence is incorporating my shadow
Like a black rose I bloom in the night’s mystery
Grasping every molecule of enlightenment, I encounter
Raising my awareness to see the teachings of my soul
The tango of shadows is telling me a story
A story which I am yet to discover and appreciate
I will dance with my shadow until I evaporate
