Analysis of Unveiling Shadows
In the depths of my tale, a chilling fright
If I unveil it, fear may consume your every light
Yet I persist, hoping for days to rearrange
Yearning for liberation, from this binding cage
Through trails of torment, like a twisted math
Converting darkness to light, a powerful path
Unearthing truth 'midst deceit's disguise
Conquering my dreams, as fantasies arise
Beneath my feet, I shape my destiny's call
With pride in choices, achieving goals above all
Regret, if at all, let it not dance too late
Unchosen life, yet with grace, I embrace this fate
Grant me strength, let faith hasten my pace
Guide me, so in no crevice, shall I misplace
I know ahead of me are many days
with an inscription - better place
I ransacked and searched, patience losing face
Furious was I in chase, and my passion in flames
Little did I know my soul at stake and my life in play
Unbeknownst to me I am not the potter but only the clay.
