The Shadow and Everything Ed With It

All that i consciously am and aspire to be effectively shuts out what i might be, could be, also am. Some of what i also am has been or is repressed because it was or is en mentally unacceptable. I want to enjoy the party, but my carefree, extraverted side has vanished. I may know that i'm due for some solitary introversion, but the lure of the bright lights is just too much. The shadow does not necessarily demand equal time with the ego, but for a balanced personality, it does require recognition.
