SHADOW WORLD
Leave me alone in this parallel realm,
A place of equal and opposite likeness.
In love with my silent companion,
Freedom to self and weakness.
It's a bleak world out here,
I take refuge in the shadows.
The shadows, really, is to blame,
The shadow is warm with its inner flame.
Our true-self shows when we are alone,
The shadow-self knows what is unknown.
It's more dangerous to hide from the shadows,
Only for its manifestation in our days of sorrows.
Double faces in the midst of war,
People waiting to break at the last straw,
It's a dark world out there,
It's even more difficult to be aware.
We search for balance and purpose,
We need some light to see our shadows.

I love the message that resonates with me in this poem. It's important to embrace face and understand the shadow-self. It's only through understanding that we can temper the power of the dark night of the soul. If I have interpreted the poem wrong, forgive me ;-)
Infact, you got it accurately, thanks for your comment and resonating with the words. :-)
Cool piece and well written, I liked it more since it is being based on a shadow world.
