I was looking for freedom, a way to escape the chains, and what I found was profoundly simple, astonishingly true.
It dawned on me, the simplest of ideas,
to always keep my eyes on the shadow.
The one that sometimes comes in front, sometimes hides in the back.
And to call it my other half.
My evil twin, my darkened soul sibling.
And to offer you this shadow, when your own takes over.
Instead of comfort, to give you closure.
Or an enemy to fight
if you need a villain in your life.
