The Dancing Shadow


Is this normal to not notice my conscience? Why can I not connect to the inner debate between Mr. Optimistic  and Mr. Pessimistic? The ear to tune into their bickering was never a natural development, but somehow the vibration of their voices forms a shadow so vivid. The shadow dance peacefully as the vibration rhythmically reflects a flawless movement. The excitement of this amazing performance radiate a lively energy that gives me the courage to conquer victory. Oh what a good feeling as I watch the shadow in amazement. As my confident flourish, the shadow dance wildly with emotions. This feeling was everlasting. Oh how wrong was I. A sharp, chilled, eerie vibrations dismantle the vivacious shadow. The horrific image shattered my hope and dreams. Seeing the flawless dance come to an abrupt halt, depressed me. I demand the shadow to revive itself, but the slow chilling vibration overwhelm the both of us. Is this the voice of Mr. Pessimistic?
