The Casting of Shadows
It was dark
but had there been light
you may have seen the knife
that stabbed you with those awful truths.
Oh how it hurt.
Eventually over time
you realized that shadowy night
had given you the freedom
of knowing.
Some, never get that.

Hi Nik,
This just stabbed me with truth. LOL
They say ignorance is bliss - but not for me.
I would rather know - have my panic attack - then recover.
That pic is awesome!!!!

Dear N,
Hands down to know is better, absolutely more painful, but better I think- then you’re not played for a complete fool and you’re armed for whatever. I really like the statement in this write. It resonates on a very personal level. H🌷

The truth can be a hard pill to swallow .. but at least you know where you stand and how to handle it.

Dear Nikki,
You said it correctly. No darkness can hide the truth. Truth outshines. You understand the human relationships much better and the pain it gives when there is no trust or one is duped heavily. You are a like a ginger candy, sweet, bitter but right. Love,
KS

Freaking awesome piece, I found it dark but filled with bloody truth, something that only in retrospect can we only fully comprehend.
And the image certainly adds to it.
