Shadow Of The Flame Poem by Shaivi Know It All

Shadow Of The Flame

Rating: 5.0


I've been growing up behind you,
In the shadow of your flame.

While your flame glows warm and bright,
Mine grows dark and pained.

With the echo of laughter around you,
Comes the heartache of my chains.

No one ever spares a second glance
at the shadow of the flame.

Some people say it is strange for me to write such poems since I am not even a teenager yet
