Shadow

the more we try to run from the reality about truth the more we find ourselves wearing masks of satisfaction and happinessss..................

I have been saying this to myself, for so long

this despair won't be staying with me for long

but least did i know about the shadow always with me

whether it is day or night, it will always be with me

it has taught me the cost of a smile

it has made me think for a while

no matter how deep may be the silence of its company

it is not an element like bismuth or antimony

it is a question with a million answers

it is a garden with no flowers!

The realm of which we choose to understand is at times right in front of you... or behind... depending where the light is hitting... of course... a shadow is limited in complete darkness... the issue of this... the shadow when present...is there open to conversation...

you are right

We can cover our dissatisfaction over so that others see us as whole but there is that dark spot lingers behind our smile and covers our self worth and point of view. Nice one junaid.

I think you have a good concept, and you've got a few good lines in here. Some of you word choices in places feels a little off and I think this might feel better if you dropped the exclamation point on the last line, but overall this is pleasant to read. Good work.
