Walking On Top of Shadows
Deviation Actions
Literature Text
I look down at the over-waxed tiles and see myself just beneath my toes. The highly reflective floor shows me walking on top of myself, and I realize I'm always walking on top of me. Digging heels in my image, grinding dirt in my face.
Mostly because I'm too good to reach down and walk beside myself, or maybe I'm not good enough to comfort this two-dimensional girl.
I want to say we all walk on top of ourselves, but I would never suppose to speak for someone else, yet I think I can speak for her when I say one day I'll reach down and she'll get back up to where we belong.
For now, she walks beneath me.

This small section initially came from a narrative that I submitted in one of my first creative writing courses in college called Reading, Writing and Autobiography. That was about three years ago, and when the narrative came to this section it began to take on the aspects of a lyrical essay. I think the idea of walking on top of a shadow is a pretty familiar one, and I've since revised this bit, but I was proud to see how the course was changing how I wrote.
