“I must also have a dark side if I am to be whole”
— Carl G. Jung
Casting shadows
Auditioning everything
that I’ve discarded
so it can play its part.
If I deny it
it clings to me
If I claim it
it sings to me
that I / Not I
the parts I defy
yet at night
I know they’re there
my fear
that people will know
what I contain
it throws my meter off
Acceptance rises
and so must I
and make a plan
and make a stand
and face
what I cannot erase
that hidden self
for as I’ve been casting my shadow
it has been casting me…
— G A Rosenberg
I think you’ve captured the theme of self-acceptance quite properly in this piece. We need to accept the things about us that we’d rather hide in the back of our minds, that way we can move towards dealing with them and growing from that process.
