In every soul, a shadow lies
Where light retreats and darkness thrives
Within the depths, where secrets hide
The dark side of humanity resides
It creeps in whispers, subtle and sly
A twisted echo, a silent cry
In envy’s grasp and anger’s flame
The shadow dances, stoking shame
Yet in this darkness, lessons gleaned
Reflections cast, though oft unseen
For in acknowledging this part we shun
We find compassion, for everyone
So let us embrace both light and shade
For in the balance, true strength is made
For in the darkness, beauty gleams
A part of humanity, it seems
