I Defeated My Shadow

My shadow’s jealously
of my human flesh
birthed from the devils nest.
Attack when I rest.
Darkness was first
to arrive,
but light
constantly overrides.
Shadows are overshadowed
by my mental battles.
The flesh of a human
will always be my shadows archival.
So shadowboxing my shadow
goes deeper
than revamping my cardio.
Rematching every lost battle
at childhood
broke loose those shackles
that held me back
as a I became the sun
that conquered my own shadows.
