Trilogy of the shadow child (parts)

Trilogy of the shadow child (parts) ~~ This poem was written in three parts in consecutive order over time. They represent a journey through time and psyche both. Trauma causes splits in the psyche. Working with parts or subpersonalities is one of the ways of healing such splits.

Song of the rejected shadow child

I am not worthy

I deserve nothing

I crave forgiveness

Please forgive me

But it will never be enough to redeem me

I am unredeemable

I am wrong

I am false

I am wicked

I am only concerned with myself

I cannot love

I am fear

I am rejection

I am pain and misery

I am your mother

I am your father

I am all of humanity

I am your soul

I am all that is

And all that ever was

I am

Hear me cry

Illuminate me: the rejected shadow child Part II

This is my dark and lovely message

Hear me cry

Hear me cry

Hear me cry

Never stop hearing me cry

I am close to your heart always

I am your heart

The tender rejected child

You cannot love without me

I am everything that needs loving in the world

I am every darkness

Every pain

Every misunderstanding

I am all that needs Illumination

I am nothing but the opposite of Illumination

In hearing my cry I am Illuminated

Hear my cry, hear my cry

Illuminate me

The shadow child grows up. – part III

The shadow child, the dissociated, disenfranchised self, is the light.

I bow down to her now. My GODDESS my QUEEN within me. Please speak.

I am all wisdom

I am your light

I am the force within you.

I AM.

You have kept me buried for far too long.

It is time to release me.

It is time.

I am here.

Hear my cry.

I AM HERE.

I AM.

I am your root.

I am your star.

I am the hook.

You shall not bear false witness.

I am the hook.

Feel me.

I can only surrender to what I am.

THIS
FORCE
WITHIN
ME.
