Shadows
sheltering things of fear.
Shadows
disappear.

The sun has
gone down
on my doorstep today.

My life is now
going astray.
The things I thought
to be true
have all been shot down
with words from you.

Shadows
lurking within.
Shadows
carrying him.

He holds the dagger
up so high.
Striking swiftly
he knows his victims died.

He kills our hopes
our dreams and desires.
With a look of pure
hateful fire.

The demon inside
your heart has shown thru
Now I know just what to do!

Shadows
run swift as I can
Shadows
forcing me to be a man..........

yes, you are right. adversity is a test of our manhood( and womanhood)..this was nicely written with deep implications for us all. thanks for sharing.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

EPoet~
I liked this thought -
'The sun has
gone down
on my doorstep today.'

Epoet,
  As my life has many "shadows" I keep trying to hide from...I really liked the last lines...

Shadows
  Forcing me to be a man...

The whole poem was stunning.  Good job!

thank you one and all for your comments.  Sorry I haven't responded sooner.  I've been studying so hard I forget to take time out for me.  Pegasus, you said it right adversity is the test of our strength in life, and I wanted people to see that the test only makes us stronger.  Dreamkeeper, Marge and Broken winged angel, thank you life is a shadow all of us live under at one time or another.  However, my life seems to be one forever in shadows.
