We cast Shadows

We cast shadows.

That's part of the human experience.

We all have parts of ourselves, denied, because we were told it wasn't acceptable early on. So, we hid it, even from ourselves. 
And we pretend these parts of us don't exist.

And we cast it out, hook onto compatible others, 

we don't like. 
Who annoy us so.

If they would only change, we could be at peace,
have things flowing,
our way.

Why don't they stop interfering, intruding in our life?

Shadows, falling back.
Hiding,
From the truth, 
That all parts are worth loving, and serve a purpose, until we are ready to welcome them home. 

To love ourselves, back together. 

Oh, the courage you have....
