Beautiful Shadow

A Poem

By Jillian ReedPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

“Invisible is that shadow,

that girl you don't see...

The strength she carries like a burden,

always falling, bending, breaking to show the world how to rise again like a phoenix burning bright,

turning the ash back to life.

With a heart of scars she walks and shares,

to bring to you the real her,

full of flaw,

full of beauty beyond a pretty face.

Do you see her?

That girl?

Those blue eyes that rain down thunderous passion in word so you can feel?

Life in the shadows,

a life of a raging war built upon much love and trust.

She prays hard in those moments of need,

screaming up to the sky like the waves in the sea...

begging for one chance to build something so grand,

but small in the eyes of you.

To have just one real chance to rise without falling,

To stand tall and show the world what it means to say "I can.”
