In Deference to Jung

 


“Make friends with your shadow,”

the counselor said.

“Make friends with your shadow,

don’t live in its dread.”

 

A Dr. Jekyll,

a Mister Hyde

both are present

deep inside.

 

Don’t ignore.

Don’t subdue.

For the shadow

is a part of you.

 

Denial just gives

the shadow power.

Integration is the answer.

Now is the hour.

 

Warning, caution for those who deny:

you’ll end up full of tyranny,

a Trump of sorts - never wrong,

full of lies, morality out the doors.

 

The lesson to learn

I humbly recommend:

Learn to befriend your shadow

or it will have you in the end.
