Shadow – Delhi Poetry Slam

Shadow

By Manisha Jain

From where do you get 
so much of strength?
Asked her shadow.

She smiled
And looked at the sky
And then on the ground
“From you my dear”
She spoke softly
“You are always by my side”

The shadow bewildered…
'But I do disappear
and leave you alone
in the middle of the night
when darkness is darker than me'..

“Yes” she smiled
you disappear…
But you never leave me
Just hide somewhere inside me…
