As I walked through the icy cold tundra

The howling wind pierced through me.

Cracks began to form on the ice I was standing on.

I began to panic.

The ice began to split even faster.

I thought that I could be strong.

But I guess I was wrong.

The ice finally broke into pieces.

I slipped

And fell into the icy cold water.

As I gasped for air

Pockets of warmth floated around me 

But I couldn’t reach it. 

It was simply too far out of my grasp. 

The freezing cold water enveloped me.

And pulled me in further. 

As I sunk 

I was finally able to face my own shadow.

The shadow I disliked for so long.

My only regret

Is that I hadn’t faced you sooner.
